CORE WORDS

As a school we use core words every day,  we focus on on six words per term each class displays the word and practices the sign with the pupils.  'Core Words' are shared with every class across the school to further encourage our pupils' development of functional communication skills. We are always looking at ways to enhance our total communication approach here at Tweendykes, and these Core Word Postcards developed by Humber Speech and Language Therapy help us to do just that! Every postcard shows the core word as a symbol and as a sign, as well as giving ideas as to how you can use this word in activities and throughout the day. Core words are the most frequently used words that make up the majority of our day-to-day communication - they're really important words for our pupils to learn that can be used in so many different ways and situations.

Take a look at the postcards we have worked on so far this term and give them a try at home!
