Finding the Words: Working Through Profound Loss with Hope and Purpose

Product Information

The extra engagement and fun that comes from games can be really useful in helping pupils remember the content, as well as helping children enjoy their lessons. This is vital - students who are bored with lessons are much less likely to learn effectively, so it's important to keep your teaching varied and fun. It was imperative to be lively, friendly, and fun, and to give Dylan something that he couldn’t get anywhere else (meeting his sensory-motor needs helped!) He learned that listening to us was entertaining, and he trusted us to give him language he could use to keep us playing with him! Dylan still used movie gestalts as well, and mitigated them nicely, but all his language was becoming increasingly “transparent” and easier-to-interpret. Following are some utterances from our third month: But after his second week in our clinic, Bevin said something remarkable. He sought out his mother and declared, “Spike talks! I found it! Yea!” Bevin’s mother told me, “It is the first time Bevin ever talked to me! All I did was repeat what he said, like you told me to, and he looked at me like I understood him! Now, he says things to me, knowing I’ll listen!” Word Scramble games are created by rearranging jumbled letters. Players then rearrange these random letters into meaningful words. For instance, you might unjumble the word 'BOWLERS' or 'BELOW' from the letters SROEWLOB. Rearranging random letters is also called anagramming. Anagramming can be a game in and of itself, and has been practiced for hundreds of years. Old kings liked to rearrange and arrange the letters in words and see what other words they could find. Many modern word games also find their basis in the rearranging fun of anagrams.

Another eight months later, Dylan’s language was a mixture of Stages 4, 5, and Stage 6 (DSS levels 7 and 8), with constructions such as the following:

Every day we create a new puzzle for our readers. Play our Word Scramble Daily Anagram Game. Each of our sets of words has a given 'theme' to guide it, and to help you solve the puzzles faster. For instance, one week we might do a 'weather' theme and include words like thermometer, temperature, rainbow, and thunderstorm. Or we might do a word-themed puzzle, and include words like: anagram, scrambled, dictionary, and letters. You can also opt to solve the daily word scramble without revealing the clue, to make the game a little bit more challenging. The Word Scramble changes every day, so there is always a fresh anagram for you to decode and discover. You can also go through and play past iterations of the Daily Word Scramble to further practice your anagramming and rearranging skills.

I say “extremes” because while both children made excellent progress, Dylan moved from Stage 1 to Stage 3 in about a half year, and Will has not done so yet, after a year. And, I say “consistencies” because their process is basically still the same! While some things were easier for Dylan (he had less language to mitigate from, less language to find the commonalities among), some are easier for Will (his articulation is better and people understand him more often; he is familiar with a wider variety of language and so “generating” language, when he is ready, will not be so foreign). See if the following story rings some bells. If so, you will find that the remainder of this article will usher in a bright new future for your own child’s natural language acquisition! Dylan still produced numerous utterances at Stage 3, where he experimented with word (and concept) combinations: We are recruiting for new TRUSTEES with energy and inspiration to work with the board to strategically support the organisation.
