Description: This interactive deck invites students to create their own character by choosing from a variety of hairstyles, skin tones, outfits, and accessories - perfect for engaging even the most reluctant communicator. Once their character is dressed, students answer developmentally appropriate prompts that target expressive language, descriptive vocabulary, WH-questions, and social-emotional communication. Whether used as an icebreaker, a conversation starter, or a way to target specific goals in a fun, student-centered format, this resource gives speech-language pathologists an engaging tool for building meaningful communication in early learners. Skills Targeted: - Descriptive language - WH-question comprehension - Perspective taking - Emotional vocabulary - Sentence formulation Fun, flexible, and full of personality - your students will love building their new friend, and you’ll love how easy it is to support their communication goals!
