WHAT?! YOU DON'T HAVE BOARDMAKER??!!
BOARDMAKER is an incredibly useful library of symbols and drawing program for creating no end of materials to support the communication, behavioral, and curricular needs of your students. With BOARDMAKER, you can create materials similar to those seen on this site and SO MUCH MORE!
You can use the materials posted below even if you don't yet have BOARDMAKER. These materials have been converted to PDF so that everyone can use them--MAC or WINDOWS. All you need is ADOBE ACROBAT READER. If you don't have it, or if your version is old, simply go to
www.adobe.com to download the latest version--free!
Please note: Because these files are PDF, they cannot be modified. If you find materials that need some "tweaking" to be usable with your students, use BOARDMAKER to create your own, individualized materials, based on the ideas you have found on this site.
NOTE: IF YOU CANNOT VIEW THE MATERIALS BELOW--
1. Trash any older versions of Adobe Reader from your computer.
2. Click the Adobe icon to download--free--the latest version, following directions carefully.
3. RESTART your computer. This should fix the problem!
Click on the categories below to
view & print materials. |
Please note: It is sometimes challenging to determine to which category some materials belong. Indeed, some materials seem to belong to more than one category, but server space does not permit multiple postings of the same materials. To make optimum use of the materials on this site:
(1) When you find a material in a specific category, think beyond that narrow use. Materials for language can also be used for artic, fluency, etc. Be creative!
(2) If you are looking for materials that you remember from the old Materials Exchange pages, please know that nearly ALL materials have been reposted and, by looking through the various categories, you should be able to find them.
Please do not email me to ask where materials are! As much as I'd love to help you out, I can't possibly answer all such email requests! Also, after reposting hundreds of documents, I can't always remember where they are either. :-)
