Sensory TEACCH

TEACCH - Spelling in Play-Doh
Using the TEACCH strategies is important in classrooms where there is a higher ratio of students to teachers because many of the students become prompt dependent. TEACCH is a way for the students to learn to work independently from start to finish with different tasks. Here is an idea that involves fine motor skills along with basic matching and reading. This task includes several cards with words. The task is to stamp out the word in the play-doh. Generally I have the students work on word family words for example if they had the "ug" family they would spell: bug, rug, mug, tug, lug, dug, hug, and pug. The example in the picture that I received from a co-worker has them spell out the word and there is a corresponding cookie cutter for the word. You can find bulk cookie cutters for kids at many craft stores.
