October AAC Year of Core Vocabulary Resources: PreK Through High School

Our series of monthly resources for core vocabulary teaching, Year of Core Vocabulary Words and School Year of Core Vocabulary Words, continues to be used by therapists, educators, and families. 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. There were many other contributors over the years who added to these efforts.

The School Year of Core Vocabulary Words, authored by guest contributors Michaela Sullivan, Alisa Lego, and Beth Lytle, was first published in 2020. Michaela built on this work by collaborating with Lindsay Dougherty to create a version specifically for older students.

We’re reprising those posts for anyone interested in following along and utilizing the resources developed by quite a few people in the AAC community. You can access the resources for October words by clicking on the images below.
