P Simple Sentence: Free Speech Therapy Articulation Picture Cards

Description

This articulation card set is designed to be an extension of my single-syllable cards sets. The focus is still on simple /p/ words, but this time the pictures are more complex to facilitate simple phrases or sentences (3-4 words). Sentence/phrase suggestions are provided on the back of each card. As much as possible the sentences are kept simple as well using mostly early emerging consonants. The target audience for these cards are children with severe speech delays who have mastered sounds at the single-syllable level, but need practice incorporating those words into phrases. No blends or vocalic /r/ sounds are included in this set. (Scroll down to preview set.)

Key Features

• This set includes 24 therapy cards with the picture on the front and two simple phrases or sentences on the back. The /p/ words are printed in bold and include initial /p/, final /p/ and some simple two-syllable /p/ words.
• The words are CV, VC, CVC or CVCV in syllable shape.
• The vast majority of the words included feature early emerging consonants and simple syllable shapes.
• The words are simple and are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.

Busy Book - Simple Button Flowers Page

I wanted to incorporate buttons somewhere into my busy book. I saw this simple flower page and thought it was adorable. I've seen much more complex button flower pages, but this one was simple (and therefore quicker) and super cute at the same time. So, I pretty much copied it.

Busy Book / Quiet Book Page - Simple Button Flowers Page

I cut out all the pieces and attached the sun, flower stems, and petals first. Then I sewed on the buttons. The flowers are simple two layer circles. I taught myself how to use the buttonhole feature on my sewing machine (much easier than I expected) and put button holes in the two-layer felt circles. Then I used my pinking shears to jazz up the edges of two of the flowers and finally sewed the edges together with a simple circle.

Busy Book - Simple Lock and Key Page

I originally had grand plans for my lock & key page. I thought about a treasure chest scene or a locked heart scene. In the end, I decided to go for quick and simple since I was trying to get as many pages done as possible before the trip.

Busy Book / Quiet Book Page - Simple Lock & Key Page

I superglued the padlock to one end of a ribbon and then attached the other end to the page. Next I attached the key. Then, I decided to add D-rings to give the children something to attach the padlock to. Simple and done.
