Awesome, New Fun Online Tool that Builds Vocabulary: Infercabulary


I am so pleased to announce my 12th Go Dyslexia video podcast: Dyslexia: Building Vocabulary and Semantic Skills with Infercabulary, featuring Guest Beth Lawrence and Host Dr. Erica Warren. URL: https://youtu.be/WVZkHFXPKo8

This blog shares my most recent video podcast, featuring dyslexia expert Beth Lawrence, MA, CCC-SLP. Beth is an Orton Gillingham trained, certified speech-language pathologist, and CEO of Communication Apptitude (dba InferCabulary and WordQuations).

This is the 12th of many free video podcasts for Go Dyslexia!   
During the video podcast, Beth and I talk about Infercabulary, a fun and multisensory online site that offers vocabulary and semantic reasoning development exercises and assessments.  Beth talks about the importance of developing language skills and also provides a quick description of her app, WordQuations and assessment, Test of Semantic Reasoning.
 
What is Infercabulary?
Infercabulary is a fun online site that develops the language skills semantic reasoning skill and vocabulary.  Instead of memorizing complex language-definitions, students can now learn to use semantic reasoning skills to actively infer the meaning of words based on seeing five images of the word used in different contexts.  The activities use visual and audio cues to present lessons and game-like assessments make the process both fun and memorable.  I have now implemented this software into my own private practice for session activities as well as home-fun assignments (I don’t give homework, I give optional home-fun suggestions). The best parts is I can track my student’s progress and growth.

Executive Functioning Game: In or Out

Image
I'm so pleased to announce the release of my new Publication: Executive Functioning Game: In or Out!  It is the first of a  series of executive functioning games that I have been creating over the past six months. Card Descriptions :  All 30 cards include two images: an inner image and an outer image. There are six images: a car, a light bulb, an alien, a raindrop, a flower and a hand. In addition, there are five different colors: yellow, red, blue, green and purple. It is a complex matching game that requires players to remember and utilize rules to search for commonalities amongst cards. The black symbol in the middle of the inner image directs players to look at the inner image or the outer image . Then players compare cards from their deck to the image in the discard pile. The black cat is simply a distractor and has no other purpose in the game. What Population of Learners Does This Serve? In or Out is a fabulously fun game for anyone, but it also serves as a ...
