Language Activities and Stories For Phonological Intervention

Help children in preschool and kindergarten improve their speech intelligibility and language skills at the same time with the enjoyable short stories and activities in this manual. The stories are grouped by sound category: (1) initial and final consonants, (2) velars, and (3) stridency clusters. The stories may be reproduced for use in home programs.

This is a fantastic activity resource for children because the activities are easy to implement both at school and at home. The pictures are large and easy to colour. The short stories are excellent for targeting phonological patterns that impact speech intelligibility. This 200-page activity resource has been used throughout the country to help children with poor speech intelligibility

The following materials are included for use with the stories:

• Auditory Attention Word List. This auditory bombardment word list is designed for use as a focused listening exercise at the beginning and end of therapy sessions.
• Prop Box. A list of props is included for each story. Children can use the props when retelling or acting out the story.
• Art Activity. Reproducible patterns are used in the art activity. The art projects provide "hands-on" experiences that appeal to young children.
• Activity Suggestions. Activities are suggested related to the content of the story and to the experiences of the student. Many of these activities can be completed either in the classroom or at home.

The activities in this book can be used to improve speech intelligibility and to help children expand verbal responses from single words to complete sentences.
