Non-Verbal - Cubes

We thought about 4 top tips:

  1. Move the top square down (or the bottom one up).  It will face the same way.

  2. Consider opposite sides – they will not touch.

  3. Roll up (or down) the sides – they will rotate 90 degrees each time (so 2 apart will be a 180 degree rotation)

  4. Always check positional features e.g. which way a triangle points / near or far etc.

After a 'c' - e.g. receive

Not making an 'ee' sound (more often a long 'a' sound)- their, weight
