“Universal Design for Learning helps meet the challenge
of diversity by suggesting flexible instructional
materials, techniques, and strategies that empower
educators to meet these varied needs.
A universally designed curriculum is designed from the
outset to meet the needs of the greatest number of
users, making costly, time-consuming, and after-the-fact
changes to curriculum unnecessary.”

“Similar to how we must first learn to
read before we can read to learn, we
must also first learn to communicate
before we can communicate to learn.”
~Gail VanTatenhove, Speech-Language Pathologist (www.vantatenhove.com)
Core Vocabulary
~400 words
Makes up 80% of what we say, write, hear, or read
Includes pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, question words,
interjections, demonstratives, prepositions, etc.
Not very good picture producers
Required to communicate effectively
Allows us to grow/build language skills naturally
Fringe Vocabulary
Large set of thousands of words
Makes up 20% of what we say, write, hear, or read
Changes throughout your lifetime depending on your interests, career, etc.
Mostly nouns and content-specific vocabulary
More specific than core vocabulary makes them easy to depict
Difficult to grow/build language (one word → two word)
Go Play Turn
Go fast Play again Turn up
I go fast Play it again You turn up
That Like Where
What that? I like Where go?
What that do? I like it Where you go?
It All Adds Up!
