🌟 Therapist's Favorite Tool: Picture Cards! 🌟

Our Speech Therapist loves using a box of picture cards with over 300 images to enhance language skills. Let's dive into how this amazing tool works!

Step 1: Identify & Describe
Children are asked to identify the picture and state its function. For example, "This is an apple. You eat it."

Step 2: Form Sentences
We encourage kids to use the word in a sentence and add qualifiers. For instance, "The red apple is tasty."

Step 3: Answer Questions
Asking inferential questions about the pictures helps elicit more language and deepens understanding. "Why do we eat apples?"

✨ These simple yet effective steps using picture cards can significantly enhance language development in children. Whether it's identifying objects, forming sentences, or answering deeper questions, this tool is a favorite for a reason! ✨
