As we have been making the transition from Home School back to public school, Frog's Para Educator was coming to our house to observe. I wanted to find some exercises that showed how I use the Rapid Prompting Method with Frog and expand it into other activities. I also had a new book for us to read, Max's Words
About a boy who collects words,
then uses them to write a story.
We read the book and Frog answered questions about the story using the Rapid Prompting Method. Then I got out all of the books Frog and I have been reading and let him use his yes sign and pointing to choose words from each book. When we had a stack of words, we wrote a story and he picked between 2 to 4 word choices from his stack to continue the story as we went. When we finished the story, Frog picked between stamps and pictures to illustrate the story.
Here are Frog's Words,

Now that's a book I could have done with a few years ago. Come to think of it, it would probably still help now. I actually keep a list of their current favourite words as they always want to know how to spell whatever it is!
As for week long endeavours, we're right on the same page there. My daughter had 28 to make and the boys each had to make 14 [to include teachers and aides] Talk about a marathon.
Cheers
Nicely done - and displayed so anyone could easily make their own. Thanks! Barbara

OH! I am so glad I have all of you moms to come to as Will gets older, esp now that it is looking more and more like an autism diagnosis is in our future.
I had never heard of what you are doing , but it's wonderful that there are things like that out there that work.
Thank you for posting about it :)

Hi! I just had to look you up today but I see you haven't posted in awhile. I swear I saw a sign on American Idol last night that said "Flat Stanley Loves Adam" & it reminded me of your blog. I was wondering if it was your flat Stanley on the sign. Hope all is well!
You always have cute and encouraging ideas! :]
