Speech Goals Related to Reading
I love love love books! I have been collecting books for over 40 years and owned a specialty school supply, toys, games and book store for 22 years.
1.I look at every book as a “wordless” book. This allows flexibility for modeling, rephrasing, changing vocabulary, and adding words to target language & speech sounds. Rarely do I read a book word for word.
2.First, I arrange my books in seasonal themes. Then I choose a book appropriate for the season. I read through the book and write down targeted words for speech and language goals. I determine how many students would benefit from the book. This allows me to “batch” my speech activities for a few students utilizing the same book.
3.Speech sessions CAN be fun and functional! Pair books with objects, games, iPad app, matching pictures, puppets on a stick, AAC device, etc. Get students excited about the book. Books provide flexibility and ongoing assessment of skills. For in-person Use vinyl folders for each book activity.
4. Here is an example of skills I have targeted using one book:
• reciprocal joint attention, facilitating reactions
• enhancing verbal turn-taking, word retrieval
• sentence building - increase phrase length, grammatical
structures, affixes
• vocabulary, categories, basic linguistic concepts, directions
• phonological/ phonemic awareness, rhymes
• listening comprehension - WH questions, predict intentional
phrase sentence & story recall, inference, sequencing,
