Teaching Strategies
In this lesson we learn about strong word signs and a new special
rule that they follow. You will get to read and write these special
contractions.
Review & Engage: (what did you do
last lesson that will tie into this
one?) Questioning
I want you to name the 5 strong word signs.
What special thing do they get to do when they are in a sentence
next to each other to save space.
Demonstration/Modeling:
I DO
That’s correct, but in UEB, they want to follow the print rules,
where there is always space between the words.
Student Response/Notes
And, for, of, the, with
Touch – there is no cell between them.
Snuggling- cuddling

Questioning- include examples and
non-examples.

Formative Assessment &
Reflection:
Can you tell me the UEB rule to use when you have any two of
the following words side by side?, a, and, for, of, the, with

When reading materials in EBAE that contain one of the UEB changes the student has learned, point out the
sentence and ask the student to tell you what would be different in UEB. Have the student braille that
sentence in UEB.
Print copy of brailled materials.
