Description
Feed the frog silly things like verb pictures! Feeding the frog makes learning fun. Speech/Language Targets: Verbs, verbs in context, basic position concept in, initial /f/, Have the child say the verbs for final consonants /d, k, m, p, k, t, s, ng, n/ in CVC, CVCC, CCVC words. I made this deck with students with apraxia or severe phonological processing speech disorders combined with the child that says "milk" (and other nouns) when you are asking them to tell you what the person is doing, "drink." The repetitive words "feed the frog" are great to reduce the cognitive load needed for comprehension so the students can focus on production of both the repeating /f/ words and the simple verb words. You can up the complexity by eliciting an -ing verb by asking what they are doing. You can reduce the complexity by just focusing on one thing such as saying in or feed. I used this one time to elicit just the word in, both the concept and the VC word shape. Ms. Coyle MS CCC/SLP
