Offering to share
Asking for help
Warning someone about a possible problem
Asking to join an activity
Requesting a turn
Responding to someone with a different opinion
Asking someone to wait

The included sound activities provide opportunities for:
Beginning sound identification
Matching words with the same beginning sound
Syllable segmentation

Articulation practice using spring vocabulary

PERFECT FOR MIXED SPEECH THERAPY GROUPS
Mixed groups do not have to mean planning several completely different activities.
Keep the spring busy scene in front of everyone while one student answers a WH question, another describes an insect, another explains a weather concept, another solves a social problem, and another practices an articulation target.
The shared visual keeps students participating in the same activity while allowing you to individualize each student’s speech or language goal.
