Students can explain why the lifeguard sits above the water, why sunscreen is included with beach supplies, what might happen to a sandcastle near a wave, and what characters in the scene may do next.
FUNCTIONAL SOCIAL COMMUNICATION + PROBLEM-SOLVING
The beach setting creates natural opportunities to practice functional communication skills such as:
Requesting a turn
Asking to join an activity
Giving a compliment
Asking to borrow something
Supporting a nervous friend
Saying thank you
Apologizing after an accident
Asking an adult for help
Responding when someone shares
Communicating when an activity is ending
The problem-solving section also includes practical situations involving sharing beach toys, sun and heat, water safety, interacting safely with animals, lost items, heavy buckets, and cleaning up before leaving.
SPEECH + PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
The included sound activities provide opportunities for:
Beginning sound identification
Final sound identification
Matching words with the same beginning sound
Syllable segmentation
Rhyming
Articulation practice using summer vocabulary
The articulation word bank includes a variety of consonants and blends using words naturally connected to the scene, including beach, ball, bucket, float, lifeguard, crab, castle, summer, swim, sun, sand, sunscreen, shell, shovel, chair, snorkel, and more.
PERFECT FOR MIXED SPEECH THERAPY GROUPS
Mixed groups do not have to mean planning several completely different activities.
Keep the summer beach busy scene in front of everyone while one student answers a WH question, another describes a beach item, another makes an inference, another works through a water-safety 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.
