  • Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick Speech/Language Activity Pack

    Slide1 (2)

     

    This is a little late, but I see private clients on Saturday and I needed an activity to go along with the book “There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick,” by Lucille Colandro.  As you probably know, I usually incorporate repetitive books into therapy as a way to provide vocabulary in context, but to also have the kids participate by having a part in the book to practice language and/or speech targets.

    I start with story cards while I’m telling the story:

    Slide2 (2)

    Afterward, I have a sequencing grid place the pictures in order and work on various concepts such as first, next, last or before/after; or to aid in a story retell.

    Slide3 (2)

     

    I included two separate following directions activities for the kids who need additional work with receptive language:

    Slide4 (2)Slide5 (2)

     

    Slide6 (2)

     

    Sentence stem pages for subject pronoun and has/have agreement: she (pictured), he, and they

    Slide8 (2)

    Finally a blown up picture of the “Old Lady” to place on a manila envelope or cereal box and have students “feed” her the story cards.  We usually practice saying “She at the…..”

  • There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow: Book Companion/Activity Pack

    Slide1

     

    As we move into January and I’m spending some time off during my winter break snowed in, I decided to create a follow up companion pack to my most popular companion pack to date, which was “I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell.”

    This is a similar repetitive story named, “There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell.”  This companion pack follows a similar format:

    I start with blown up pictures to aid in story participation.  When I’m in a group, I give each child a picture and then they are to read that “part” of the book when it comes up.

    Slide3

     

    Afterward, they take these pictures and “feed” the lady the items.  I have this blown up picture glued to a manila envelope with the mouth cut out.

    Slide11

     

    Next I have a story pictures and sequencing grid to have the children sequence the story and then have the option of visual aids to use for the story retell.

    Slide4

     

    I did a following directions activity focusing on comparatives and superlatives.  The directions ask the child to circle the smallest coal lump, or draw a line above the largest snowball etc.

    Slide7

     

    For an added challenge, I included an additional page to work on temporal concepts.  Directions include things like, “Before you touch the smallest coal lump, touch the largest hat.”

    Finally, I included 3 sentence stem worksheets.  “She saw….” “She has…..” “She ate…..”

    The Gingerbread Man Speech/Language Activity/Companion Pack

    The Gingerbread Man is a classic story that all my kid’s love.  It is a repetitive style book, and as you know, I love using repetitive books in therapy!  The first page has some pictures to cut out and use while reading the story as props.  You can even glue them onto popsicle sticks if you’re so inclined!

     

     

    Slide3

     

    Next, if you’ve bought any of book companions, you know what a fan I am of sequencing activities.  This one contains one too with sequencing grid.

    The mini book in this unit works on “where” questions and teaching early spatial concepts.  The child glues the gingerbread men on a preceeding page in the correct places in the mini book.

    The next four pages contain 8 sets of rhyming words in picture and written form for you kids to match or play with to work on early phonemic awareness skills.

  • I Know an Old Lady Book Who Swallowed a Pie Book Companion Pack.

    I Know an Old Lady Book Who Swallowed a Pie Book Companion Pack.

    Two years ago, I wrote a post entitled November book of the month.  At that time Ashlynn was just starting to imitate really well, and I used this repetitive book with her to have her work on the CV shape “pie.”

    Fast forward two years and here we are.  Ashlynn can now say most of the Thanksgiving items in this book, she just has a hard time with word recall and has expressive language needs now at thistime.

    I created this companion pack for her, but for also my kiddoswith a variety of speech/language needs.  The first part contains all the pictures in the story with a sequencing board for the kids to sequence their pictures.

    The next part has a following directions activity incorporating a variety of spatial concepts with the vocabulary (i.e. “put the squash between the lady and the table).”

    Part three contains a 9 page mini book with the pictures for the kids to practice a sentence, “She ate a …”

    The last page contains an enlarged version of the old lady’s head with her mouth open, that you can cut out and glue to a manilla envelope and cut out the mouth.  You can then have the kids “feed” the old lady all the vocabulary items using whatever speech or language target you choose!
