Objective
Learner will explore the device independently including attending to it when in use.
Preparation
Review the Quick Lesson Guide.
The Daily Complete Lesson Guides offer additional instructions and materials.
Use them over any time period that will benefit the learner.
Skip and/or repeat activities/days as you wish.
Exploring the device looks different for each person.
For some, exploring means touching the device, looking through pages and/or attending as it is being used.
Others might try pre-stored messages or build phrases using core or keyboard.
The idea is that they are given time to do this to explore the language available to them.
Familiarize yourself with the vocabulary available in the learner’s device that might be motivating for him/her.
