Case: Mum's the Word
In a pre-K setting, there is a student who has been silent the whole school year, the student would not even talk to tell the teacher how finger was stepped on during center play. There was nothing to get the student to speak. The teacher spoke with the parent about interests of the student and it was learned that the student likes science and Transformers. The teacher planned many science lessons and even bought the student a Transformers coloring book. The student waited the entire day to share his excitement with his mom and older brother. The student has been evaluated and it has been determined that he just choosing not to speak while at school. He plays well and gets along with the other students, but will not communicate with them. It is his first year in a structured setting, and although his family is from South America, he was born and raised in the U.S. What other strategies can the teacher use to get the student to talk while in class.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would do a cultural lesson experience that shows the students culture. This activity might make the student feel more comfortable with the rest of the group. Here is a craft to do with the kids. http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/mquetzal.html
