To begin, create the word shapes you want to cut on the Cricut, by using the roman-word-bubbling tool found here (insert link). Since magnetic paper does not pull through my Brother printer very well (the magnetic side sticks to the inside, metal parts of the machine!), I first print off the “Bubble” words on Shipping Label adhesive paper, then peel off the backing and stick that to the magnetic paper, before cutting. The All-In-One Board sits at a slant, allowing the words to be better placed in the student’s best field of view. *When I work with my students, I create my “Bubble” words on magnetic paper, so that I can present the word shapes on an APH All-In-One Board (the white, magnetic side facing forward).

Feel free to add comments to this post and share how you have used the Cricut to create your “Bubbled” words.Ĭolor Printer (I use a Brother HL-4570CDW)Ĭricut Cutting Machine (I use a “Cricut Maker”)īlack, cardstock weight paper (I use 65 lb.) Please note that these instructions may not be the best way to achieve the end result there may be a better way to use the Cricut or a more efficient listing of steps. After much practice (and ruined pieces of paper!), I found a way to do it. But I could find no tutorials, or YouTube videos to teach the process. When I heard about using a Cricut Cutting Machine to speed up the process, I was all in. This is because the cutting of the shapes is often time consuming and difficult (often needing an X-acto Knife and cutting mat). Once the “Bubbled” word shape is created, the process for me slows down. Roman’s book (Chapter 2) or learn more about use of the roman-word-bubbling tool on YouTube here
For more information on the use of this technique, see Dr. Christine Roman and discussed in her book, “ Cortical Visual Impairment: Advanced Principles”, use of word shapes in conjunction with other more traditional methods, often works well when providing instruction in literacy. Having the new Roman Word Bubbling tool () to create “Bubble” Words has been extremely helpful for those of us who use “Bubbling” as a strategy for increasing literacy skills in our students with CVI.
