Is there anything more fun then literature based speech language intervention?
Rhetorical question of course, but seriously how much fun is it? Even the simplest books are jam-packed with a variety of language concepts, “wh” questions, target vocabulary, prepositions of location, and much, much more.
Of course, it’s always a bonus when I manage to create or obtain a book companion as a complement to the story, so the clients benefit the most from the activity. I also find book companions particularly useful when it comes to passing out the homework activities to the parents, many of whom require a little guidance regarding how to work at home with their children in order to increase carryover and ultimately reduce the child’s overall time in therapy. This is why I jumped at the opportunity to review one of Denise’s (Speech Language Pirates Blog) several book companions: “If you give a Pig a Pancake.”
This 55 page companion contains a nice variety of articulation and language activities, creating a wonderful supplement to the story.
From visual props for story retelling and sequencing to comprehension and inferential questions, it has a little something to target many language goals.
Those of you in need of articulation activities will find her pages with CVC words related to /p, b, m, n, t, d/, initial, medial, and final /g, k, f/ as well as /l/ and /s/ blends particularly helpful.
Looking for phonemic awareness tasks? Denise has a cute word segmentation activity in which you can combine picture strips to form compound words.
Are grammar goals on your mind? Denise has a nice range of activities including: basic verbs, regular plurals, is/are verbs, third person singular (-s) as well as prepositions of location tasks.
Need basic concepts? Associations? Object functions? Categorization? Attributes?
She has it all! This pack is definitely worth it’s $5.25 tag at her TPT Store.
