Do you have any digital template that can share with us as a reference?Teresa and Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907959074968879533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-80612641295135395122010-10-08T22:42:55.913-05:002010-10-08T22:42:55.913-05:00I've started teaching Goldie sight words using...I've started teaching Goldie sight words using the book "Teaching Reading to Children with Down syndrome" and we're still working on family names. Goldie learned her letters fairly easily, but this activity has been much harder for her. An example in the book showed a child learning a couple new words each day. Was this your experience? I'm asking because Goldie has very low vision and I'm not sure if she can't see the words clearly or if I just need to give it some more time. <br /><br />Thank-you so much for sharing everything you do with Matthew!

Then I get the plastic sheets at either Target or Office Max. I find that the Scotch brand laminating sheets work best. For the cards that have the word on the back, I use brochure paper, or any paper that's thick enough so that the picture/ word won't show through very much on the other side.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737298798388579270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-14509334172809098602010-09-01T09:17:05.016-05:002010-09-01T09:17:05.016-05:00where did you get the supplies to laminate your fl...where did you get the supplies to laminate your flash cards?B.
