How Do You Use It?! August: Sentence Strips! (linky party)

It is that time again….time for my monthly linky party!! Check out how I use common objects in my speech room! Keep reading and view below to see how other SLPs/bloggers use them as well!

This month's object: sentence strips!!

There are several ways I use sentence strips in my therapy room. I can use them on post-its, index cards, dry erase boards, on top of worksheets, or even using the following products:

Why use sentence strips?! They are a great way to encourage expanded utterance length!! I like to use cloze sentences on them to model how to respond or describe using expanded utterances. Some samples of teaching the following targets:

Possessive pronouns: “This is his _____.”
Sequencing/transition words: “First _____” “Finally _____”
Categorization: “The _____ is a fruit.”
Describing: “The _____ is yellow.” “The _______ has a wheel.”

I LOVE sentence strips so much, I often include them in my TpT products!! I often use Boardmaker symbols when I use sentence strips with my nonreaders or poor readers. Check out below some products that use these sentence strips:

Preposition Picture Scenes (for younger students)

Back To School Early Language File Folder Activities

Cut, Sort, & Glue! Activities for the entire year

I hope you find these ideas helpful! How do you use sentence strips?! Stay tuned for next month's post!!
