Use this coloring activity to expand on language in your home!
If you don't have a coloring book, draw the items yourself (shapes, letters, objects, animals, etc.) or look at pictures from a book to practice naming after you complete the coloring activity.
Go on a scavenger hunt with your child in or around your house and find the items from the list below based on their function. For each item you find, try to put the name of that item in a sentence with it's function. For example, if you find a pair of shoes, encourage your child to say "we wear shoes" so they can begin to understand the function of the everyday items we use.
Use this ball activity to expand on language in your home! If you don't have a ball, use any toy or object to practice prepositions.

Reading and talking about stories with your child is a great way to encourage their language comprehension skills! Watch the read aloud below and ask your child the following questions:
Who is the story about?
Where is the bear?
What did the bear NOT want to do?
Why did the bear eventually take a bath?
When did he take a bath? (In the morning, at night time..)
This week we have a boom card that you can click on . This boom card increases mean length utterance and to increases students vocabulary. Read the directions and model the full sentence intially and then have your child try and repeat and then begin cuing them with the card show below. Each door has a a suprise pet behind each door. Allow your child to complete each door and have fun wiht this langauge nuilding activity.
To work on language comprehension and following directions, play "Simon Says" with your child! You can play like normal where they only follow the directions if you say "simon says" first, but if that is too confusing, you can give them directions without saying "simon says." Use the list below to focus on following either one or two-step directions and make sure to have fun!
