It’s the 7th game of the World Series! If you aren’t a Cubs fan (or you don’t work with any Cubs fans) you can stop reading now…
I should have written this post 2 weeks ago so you could introduce World Series vocabulary. Better late than never?
The Chicago Cubs have taken the city (and suburbs!) by storm. Since word finding is all about being able to speak fluidly with one’s peers, teachers, and family, it is important for kids to have the words they need to communicate about this once-in-a-century event! However, I repeatedly remind you that word retrieval is all about frequency of use and recency of use. Therefore, your students may not need any help coming up with those exciting terms they want to use. They are hearing the baseball vocabulary so frequently that those neurons are already primed!
Have fun tomorrow talking about the game. If your speech kids are sports fans, help them have the language to discuss the World Series with their peers. It should be a happy day!
