Comics are a great way to change up the routine in speech therapy. Check out this post full of low-prep ways to use comics in speech therapy - all easy and quick for your lesson planning needs!

Why use comics?

Comics are a fun way to elicit a ton of language! Students can be required to give characters a voice, make them think, and describe their actions. You can work on so many goals in a motivating way! It is a great way to bring a literacy-based activity without a reading passage. Your students can answer comprehension questions without having to decode a single word!

What goals can you address?

Vocabulary
Social skills
Asking and answering questions
Sentence structure
Verb tenses
Describing
Compare/contrast
Perspective taking
Higher level thinking
Sequencing
And so much more!

What are some low prep ways to do this?

*Grab photos, picture cards, illustrations from picture books, or Google images and have students give them a voice. They can verbally tell you what they would think or say or draw in a speech/thought bubble. They do make speech and though bubble sticky notes and stickers.
