A Day at the Market AAC Literacy Unit


This is the first in what will be a series of blog posts highlighting the great work of the University of Memphis graduate students in speech-language pathology. For their AAC class with Vicki Haddix (one of the TN Talks project leads), they choose their own final projects, and many of those final projects are potentially very useful for those of us working with students who use AAC. WIth the students’ permission, the work is being shared here.

First up is the charming book written and illustrated by Betsy Mashburn: A Day at the Market. She incorporates a lot of evidence based literacy practices within these 9 pages, and has made a number of other materials to support the book and to use it during shared reading. As Betsy says in her presentation, you can find out more about shared reading at https://www.sharedreader.org/.
