Makaton & Education at Home – Reading & Keywords from Story ‘101 Dalmatians’

Reading

Material: This Walt Disney classic book is to be provided.

*Please note:

• Read with emotion and drama.
• Read as much as Fela will tolerate.
• All the key words have been underlined in pencil.
• Emphasise each word that is underlined.
• See if he remembers the makaton sign for the words that are underlined.

Aim: To encourage Fela to concentrate and listen as he follows each word with his forefinger.

Some of these 28 makaton signs are already familiar to Fela, but it’s good to practise old ones as well as learn new ones.  They are words he is likely to use in his everyday life. You may not be able to do all in one go but do as much as you can each day:
