May Year of Core Vocabulary Resources: PreK Thru High School

Looking for resources to support core vocabulary instruction? The Year of Core Vocabulary Words and The School Year of Core Vocabulary Words remain popular with therapists, educators, and families. We’re revisiting those posts for anyone interested in following along and utilizing the resources developed by numerous individuals in the AAC community.

The initial series was based on a small set of core words for each month (see that post here). We followed that with a second set of Year of Core Vocabulary Word resources for a new list of words (click here for that post). Among the many resources are the activity calendars created by AAC SLP and co-founder of Talking AAC, Rachael Langley. Many other contributors added to these efforts over the years. The School Year of Core Vocabulary Words, authored by guest contributors Michaela Sullivan, Alisa Lego, and Beth Lytle, was first published in 2020. Finally, the Year of Core Vocabulary Older Student Lessons series was guest authored by Michaela Sullivan and Lindsay Dougherty in 2024.
