Looking for an early elementary, year-round resource for speech therapy to assist classroom inclusion? The Seasonal Fill-in-the-Blank Stories bundle offers 40 seasonal “mad lib” style stories (10 for each season), with place markers for nouns, verbs, and adjectives, helping students practice language skills in a playful, creative way.
Stories have been written for a 2nd - 3rd grade reading level.
Each seasonal set will include:
- 10 Fill-in-the-blank stories, each with an illustration
- Seasonal-themed word lists sorted by noun, verb, adjective
- Worksheets to guide vocabulary selection for each story
How It Can Be Used in Speech Therapy:
- Articulation practice: Highlight the seasonal words that contain target sounds (e.g., /s/ or /r/) and have students practice them in context within the stories.
- Vocabulary building: Guide students through the process of selecting appropriate nouns, verbs, and adjectives, expanding their vocabulary and understanding of word usage.
- Grammar skills: The fill-in-the-blank format encourages students to focus on parts of speech, reinforcing grammatical rules while creating fun and imaginative stories.
