Where to find MLI activities

There are two ways to find MLI Activities:

  • Put in the Kit and New Learning

  • Type in MLI into the search bar (this is the easiest way)

How and why the MLI was broken up into 2 parts

The MLI was broken up into the below to make it easier to see. The two parts you have chosen still need to be taught sequentially during your daily lesson (i.e. MLI 1 Sound Discovery, MLI 1 Linkages and Applications):

  • Part 1: Sound Discovery

  • Part 2: Linkages and Application

How to find the instructions

Select the lower left-hand blue outlined button that says “Show instructions”

How to use Sound Discovery

  • Card Decks: Click to flip cards and use arrows

  • Images: Drag and drop icons (i.e. purple dot, arrow, voiced, and unvoiced icons) over the face

  • CV Order Check: Click the green consonant symbol or blue vowel symbol. If incorrectly chosen, click the “x” on the green or blue symbol.

How to use Linkages and Application

  • Card Decks: Click to flip cards and use arrows

  • Images: Drag down the white cover to reveal the alphabet card

  • Card Trick (optional): Use the seafoam green card if you would like to direct the students' attention to cards during task instructors sometimes use the “Card Trick”

  • Whiteboard: Page through the Whiteboard by clicking the arrows in the upper left-hand corner of the Whiteboard to follow linkages. Use instructions in the lower left corner for more details.
