Who? -er Noun Derivatives

Many of my preschoolers have difficulty answering "who" questions in general.  Often times, I hear answers like "boy", "girl", "lady", "guy", "a mom", or "a dad" when my clients don't know the answer.  While this is a bit of a spin on that skill, noun derivatives are often missed by my preschoolers as well.



This 14-page activity targets -er noun derivatives.  Students using this activity will gain a greater understanding of noun derivatives and complete a variety of practice opportunities designed to change action verbs into nouns, specifically using those actions to identify the person who completes that action.

This activity includes:

18 picture cards (pages 3-5)
18 sentence cards (pages 6-8)
18 picture cards with fill-in-the blank sentences (pages 9-11)
18 fill-in-the blank sentence cards (pages 12-14)

Task 1:  Students will match picture cards to sentence cards or select picture when sentences are read aloud by clinician (receptive task).
Task 2:  Students will state fill-in-blank answer either with or without picture cues (expressive task).  



Hope this activity proves to be helpful for your students as well!  You can find this activity in my TPT store by clicking here

Guess what??  I just recently finished the second installment in my Articulation BINGO series targeting /s/ and /z/ in all word positions!



My Articulation BINGO sets include simple sets of cards (just clip art picture and word) and addresses multiple words per position per sound.


This activity includes:

Contents:

• 35 picture cards each for initial /s/ (pages 3-8) and 11 picture cards for initial /z/ (pages 37-38)
• 35 picture cards each for medial /s/ (pages 13-18) and medial /z/ (pages 39-42)
• 35 picture cards for final /s/ (pages 23-28) and 35 for final /z/ (pages 47-52)
• 4 different picture bingo boards per word position per sound (24 total) (/s/ pages 9-12, 19-22, 29-32) and
• 4 different picture bingo boards with all word positions represented per sound (12 total) (pages 33-36 and
/z/ pages, 43-46 (medial), 53-56 (final)  **due to lack of initial /z/ words, no bingo boards are included for this position (pages 57-60)



**Cards can be used for traditional articulation drill and practice or to play one of the following game options.

• Bingo:   Distribute bingo board to each student.  Have students take turns drawing picture card and naming items with target sound.  First student to get bingo (across, down, or horizontally) or cover entire board is winner.
• Memory:  Print two sets of picture cards and have students name items with target sound while matching picture pairs.
• Go Fish:  Print two sets of picture cards and have students use repeated sentence framework to request desired picture with target sound.

As I hinted above, there will be additional Articulation BINGO sets on the horizon!  Stay tuned for the next installment /sh, th, ch/ and thank you for all of your continued support of Straight Up Speech!
