Go – Model and teach this word while making the cars move or to initiate a race.

Stop – Allow your student to direct you to make the cars “stop.”

Up – Have your student use this word while pushing a car “up” a ramp or move "up" in a toy garage.

Down – Use this word while allowing cars to race “down” ramps or racetracks.

Go up/down– Teach prepositions when making cars go in/under/next to tunnels, furniture, or toys. Race a car along their body, “up” their arm, “down” their other arm.

Go fast/slow – Allow your student to direct the speed of movement of the cars by using these simple adverbs.



 Reading

toy car

Read the book “Stop, Go, Fast, Slow!” Encourage your student to find the words as they appear in the story. Red words are from the 20 Word Starter set; yellow words are others you may decide to teach as well. Model the words the student can’t find.


BOOKS


 Writing

car

Have students use their device to fill in the target vocabulary words on each car.  If the device has computer emulation capabilities, the student can use their device as an alternative keyboard.  

Connect the device to the computer using a USB cable or Bluetooth adaptor. Let the student use his/her device to write the target vocabulary. Be sure to make the font large. Print out the words for your student.

If you are using WordPower (Saltillo or TouchChat), save the person’s writing using Stories and Scripts within the vocabulary.  Learn more about this feature here


WRITING TEMPLATES


 Extension

balloon powered car

Draw a bullseye on the ground with sidewalk chalk. Have your student use his/her device to say when he/she wants to make the car “go.” The student can then push the car and try to get a bullseye. Have him/her tell you when the car stops. Practice a variety of phrases before each car can get pushed to the bullseye.

Other Toy Car Activities

1. Play with cars in the sand box (or make one in a plastic tub). Practice “stop,” “go,” etc.

2. Make a tunnel with a piece of paper taped to the table. The cars can “go in” or “go out.”

3. Race two cars. Practice “go fast,” “go slow,” or “make go.”

4. Draw roads with sidewalk chalk. Have the student use his/her talker to direct the activity.

5. Make a balloon powered car. Practice phrases like “make go,” “go fast,” “go down,” etc. while playing with the car.

Common Core Standards
Below are references to the Common Core Standards organized by grade level and associated with the goals and objectives of this lesson plan. When considering which standards to target in your lessons with students, begin by looking at the standards at your student’s grade level.
