How to teach a Lotto Reading Game to a Beginner

This student is just beginning to learn to read, and this is her first time seeing this material. This is a good place to start with lotto or matching games. In my book "Whole Child Reading," I describe 7 different levels of difficulty in teaching with lotto games. In this video, you'll see this brand-new student walked through steps 1-4 on that scale of difficulty.

I dont like "zip the lip" . I think that is demeaning to a child. This technique may be effective but we can be respectful

[@DownSyndromeReading]

Deela, of course the teacher will use whatever phrase is comfortable for the student, and most importantly, whatever works for the student. "Zip the lip" is of course a rhyme. One thing we want to do is keep the prompt short; the shorter the better because it is more effective in getting the student's attention. So please use whatever works for your learner.

I respectfully disagree with the phrase used.

@@deehubbs0811 If you decide to try the technique, I'm sure you will come up with a wonderful phrase to use instead!

Thank you. I am not trying to come off as arguing, or be accusatory. Have a great day!
