Price: 220 points or $2.2 USD

Subjects: speech

Grades: 4,6,7,8,10

Description: In this activity, pseudo-stuttering is practiced where we deliberately stutter as we learn about salmon in non-fiction text! This is helpful since it helps us get used to how to handle a stuttering event when it happens. Then we are better able to deal with stuttering by making changes to become confident speakers. The cancellation method is encouraged to stop when a stutter occurs, think of a stuttering strategy, then repeat the word and continue with the sentence. Three types of stuttering are targeted including repetitions, blocking, and prolongations. *Audio examples are provided. *This deck is not self-grading but intended for direct therapy use and carry-over practice. Bonus: The last card in the deck is a reinforcement activity where your student gets to create their own picture. This can also be used for retelling content information with heterogenous groupings. Included: 4 instructional cards, 15 tasks cards, 1 reinforcement card.
