A recent and new digital tool I have used with a SPED student is At Spelling. The difference this has made is remarkable. He has a very short attention span and writing is difficult. After working with behavior specialist and a great team of teachers we have been making progress in his time on task, engagement and assessment. A plus spelling allows him to enter his spelling words, record each one, practice his words with visual prompts and colors and take his test. This process would take many attempts when we tried the traditional way with pen and paper.
1. A plus spelling
2. App on his iPad
3. The App allows the student to set up spelling test, practice them using an unscrambling game ( which uses a different part of the brain) and there are prompts during this process that keep kids engaged. Kids can practice on the go ( at school, home…) and the student can submit the work completed via email to the teacher. This makes record keeping for the teacher easier and shows the words students had trouble with.
4.I use it with one of our SPED kids who has a 1:1 most of the day. This has been very successful.
5. On the SAMR level this falls into the Augmentation category.
