- Pixon Teaching Tip: Provide a hands-on experience to teach
the Pixon for “what”. The Pixon features a TV with a red question mark
on the screen. Print out the Pixon for “what” along with pictures for
various TV shows that are popular or preferred by the person. Size the
pictures of the TV shows to fit onto the screen of the TV on the Pixon
picture. Talk about “what” you like to watch, adding the picture of the
show to the TV. This activity helps focus on both the idea of “what” and
question mark, which is featured in the picture. Expand the context of
the word “what” to talk about what is happening (verbs) or what products
might be promoted in the commercials (nouns). Further de-contextualize
the meaning of “what” outside of TV watching activities (e.g., what to
eat, what to do after school, etc.)
- Intervention Planning: Create more communication
opportunities this week to encourage your person using Minspeak to ask
“what” questions, combining “what” with an action word or noun (e.g.,
what time, what thing, what do, what see, what want).
- Teaching Materials Exchange: June is the month to remember our fathers. Use the Father’s Day
book and read it with your dad! The book is coded with Pixons and icon
sequences from Unity®45, Unity®60, Unity®84, and Unity®144.
- Pittsburgh Language Seminar Series: The next seminar series
is in September (11th-13th) and features Caroline Musselwhite as the
guest speaker. October (16-18) will feature Gail Van Tatenhove.
Registration is limited to 25 people. To register, contact Renee McGough
