TouchChat is on the QuickTalker with his WordPower file. You do not Choose New Vocab. You do not copy a stock file. Look at the home page and model there.

How to use his language system
The file is already on the device. This lesson is how WordPower works when you open it — core on home, motor plan, Word Finder — not how to pick a grid or copy a vocabulary.
The how-to is written in this lesson so you can train here. Official page: WordPower manual (23 May 2023)
Home page is core
High-frequency words live on home: WANT, MORE, STOP, HELP, GO, LOOK, LIKE, NOT, THAT, OPEN. Those words work in every subject.
Category pages still carry core
When you leave home for a topic, core is still there so the motor plan survives. That is why you do not rearrange buttons for a worksheet.
Grammar is built in
Endings, next-word, and word completion are part of WordPower — not extra apps and not a reason to open Edit.
Lost? Word Finder
Keyboard → Find Word → type it → Find. Tap the highlighted path. Gray Find means the word is not in the file — write a request.
Motor planning — why the buttons stay put
He learns WHERE a word lives. If you move WANT because a worksheet wants a different picture, you erase that plan. Fringe nouns go on a request list to Brittany Hill and AbleNet. You model core today. SaltilloBrand / PRC-Saltillo read-alouds (WordPower Wednesday) are extra modeling practice — watch them on staff time.
