Symbols and Reading

Posted by 14 on the 10th October, 2014

Great -  a clear statement and short / simple explanation from AAC guru Carol Zangari about when to use and when not to use symbols in literacy tasks. To support comprehension and communication around the meaning of a text - use 'em to the full, they will help the learner to engage, participate and become confident.  But to support teaching and learning of actual reading - don't confuse / dilute the learner's relationship with the text itself - don't add symbols.
