Book: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books
For the next two weeks in speech, we are reading There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books by Lucille Colandro as part of our back to school theme. In addition, our song for the next two weeks is The Wheels on the Bus. Our focus will be on learning the back to school vocabulary, sequencing the objects from our story, using spatial concepts to describe where the objects go (in her mouth), describing the objects in our story, and requesting/commenting using expanded utterance length. In addition, we will discuss the concepts of Who is in our story, Where our story takes place, and WHAT the character does and makes. With our theme song for the next two weeks, practice expressing and doing the actions described in the song. Repetition and practice are key to understanding! Activities to be completed with your child to incorporate both language enhancing strategies and articulation practice will be sent home in your child’s speech folder at the end of each week.
Here are the vocabulary words to practice.
Here is a link to our song. Practice singing it together with your child. Enjoy!
