[QUOTE="Christy, post: 150659, member: 225"] Here's something I thought of and it may not be practical in your son's situation but I thought it worth mentioning.... Does your son recognize the definition if he sees it? Could he use a multiple choice or matching format to get the right definition. He could then copy the definition to the appropriate worksheet. You could use a source like dictionary.com to get choices if this would be something you are making up yourself to help. When I was teaching, we did a vocabulary exercise from time to time where the students would copy the definition, draw a simple picture to remind them of the definition, use it in a short sentences, then rewrite the definition in their own words. Each word was on a seperate sheet of paper folded into four squares, one for each activity. This would be a lot of work if you have a page full of terms like you mentioned and I am sure many of the words are too abstract to make a picture (Although, some kids are very creative, I was amazed at the pictures how some drew to represent the word, but whatever helps!) Good luck with the spech evaluation, I hope you find some good information and new ideas to make this task easier! Christy [/QUOTE]
