- 1. BEHAVIORISM Via Sentence Master Katherine Gutteridge Jodi LePla Stacy Sanders
- 2. Sentence Master Overview Software Program that supports students struggling with reading and phonics. Focuses on non-content words (is, the, have) Fun and motivating learning environment Non-threatening as students do not have to read or write words they haven't mastered yet. Carefully controlled

- 5. What is behaviorism? Definition Behaviorism is a theory of animal and human learning that only focuses on objectively observable behaviors and discounts mental activities. Behavior theorists define learning as nothing more than the acquisition of new behavior.
- 6. How are these new behaviors formed? PROMPTING Inducing the person to perform a desired behavior by producing a prompt. For example, when you greet someone with “HELLO” you expect a response. Your words are the prompt for the answer.

For example, providing modeling for proper name placement on the overhead for a week, next every other day and then slowly removing the visual completely until it becomes automatic.
