						<p>Can I use the activities with individuals and groups?</p>

						<p>Activities in The Bridge of Vocabulary 2 are not timed. However, an icon is displayed in each activity to indicate an estimated length of time that a particular activity might last. This icon shows 1&ndash;3 bars: 1 bar is approximately 5 mins or less, 2 bars may range from 5&ndash;15 minutes, and 3 bar activities usually take at least 15 minutes.</p>

						<p>Can I implement these activities by myself or with other professionals?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>Yes. The Bridge of Vocabulary 2 is intended to be used by many different professionals in multiple ways. For example, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) may use an activity in a 1:1 intervention session with a student toward an IEP goal. Or, a classroom teacher and SLP or reading specialist may collaborate during an in-class activity with a small or large group.</p>

						<p>What kinds of prompting should I use during the activities?</p>

						<p>The progress monitoring form allows the professional to record different types of prompting used or needed during an activity. In general, verbal, visual, and physical prompting may all be beneficial during the activities&mdash;the student or group will define what level of support is needed. Additionally, the professional should track how quickly the prompting may fade as the student(s) gain more vocabulary skill and independence at a given activity.</p>
