Speech and Language Support for 3-5sS5(Slides 133-134)Expressive language and sentence structures%u2022 This ICW approach is valuable because it is repetitive. The sentence structure %u2018put the%u2026.in the%u2026%u2026.%u2019 remains constant.%u2022 Children with restricted sentence structures can practise this because they have a framework and all they have to do is alter 1/2 words. %u2022 It is really important to use your imagination and not always say %u2018Put X in Y%u2019 because this is restricting, misses opportunities to model a range of verbs/action words and can become very boring!%u2022 It is ideal for boosting confidence, enabling a child to experience better fluency, helping to improve social skills and controlling others by telling them what to do! (a rare experience for language delayed children)5.5.0 AL AND THE USE OF ICWS(Slide 135)%u2022 ICW work is ideal for AL children.%u2022 It provides additional chances to focus on everyday words and sentences within a highly repetitive activity.%u2022 ICW work can be undertaken in any of the languages the child is exposed to.
