Language goals vary by student. Goals may include increasing overall understanding and use of vocabulary, utilizing context clues, understanding how items go together in categories, understanding how two things are similar/different, using correct verb tenses, describing, summarizing, multiple meaning words, understanding main idea, perspective taking and problem solving.

Suggested Activities:

• Watch short videos (such as Simon’s Cat on YouTube) together. Have your child identify the characters, and retell what happened, using whole sentences (which can target summarizing, main idea, past tense verbs, and sequencing). Simon's Cat Vet Video
• Many games work on valuable language skills like turn taking, using complete sentences, describing, comparing/contrasting, perspective taking, & problem solving. Games such as Scattergories, Apples to Apples JR, Guess Who, Clue, Uno, Catch Phrase are all fun choices
