Looking for an early elementary, year-round resource for speech therapy to assist classroom inclusion? The Seasonal Fill-in-the-Blank Stories bundle currently offers 10 fall-themed, 10 winter-themed & 10 spring-themed “mad lib” style stories, with place markers for nouns, verbs, and adjectives, helping students practice language skills in a playful, creative way.
 
This growing resource will eventually include 10 summer stories, providing year-round support for language and articulation therapy. Stories have been written for a 2nd 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.
