For the skills that do not already have Power Pics created for them, you can easily create your own. I would like to share with you a language art pic that I created for the decoding skill "Flip the Sound". If students are having difficulty decoding a word, they can try the other sound that a letter makes. For example, I tell my students that if a short vowel doesn't work, they should try a long vowel. If you click on the link below, you can get a copy of this Power Pic. You can also make changes to it, so that it becomes a template for other language arts Power Pics that you might want to create.

"Flip the Sound" Language Arts Pic
The Power Pics Wall is a central component of Whole Brain Teaching. Every language arts or math skill taught to your students should have a Power Pic to go with it. A Power Pic is a picture associated with the skill and a gesture that accompanies the picture. On the Power Pic will also be a definition of the skill. After introducing the skill as part of the WBT five step lesson plan, the Power Pic goes on either a math or a language arts wall. The math wall should have a red border and the language arts wall should have a blue border. Along the side and across the top of each board will be letters and numbers to create a grid system. The walls are used as review boards, and the grid system makes it easier to find the Power Pics that you want to review. Daily students will practice the gestures and repeat the definitions for the skills of your choice. The great news is that many of the skills that you teach your students already have Power Pics created for them. You can find them under free downloads on the WBT site.
