Pragmatic Activities for Language Intervention
Pragmatic Activities for Language Intervention
Lessons involve real conversational language in a variety of activities including crafts, role-playing, puppetry, and more! Use three developmentally organized sections to:
• Develop early words, semantic relations, and word combinations with young children
• Teach preschoolers syntax, vocabulary, and concepts needed for communication and school readiness
• Help older children make the transition from oral language to literacy with metalinguistic activities and complex language forms and concepts
Detailed “scripts” help you carefully control all linguistic stimuli so language elicited in lessons is pragmatically appropriate and informative.
Every lesson plan provides:
• Language Goal
• Developmental stage
• Linguistic Stimuli
• Script and Procedure
• Corrective Feedback
• List of readily available props and materials used
• Variations for extending the activity to other forms and concepts
You’ll also have IEP goals, data collection sheets, information on normative data for each developmental level, and a well-organized developmental sequence of activities reflecting current philosophies. Reproduce and give these materials to classroom teachers or paraprofessionals – concise instructions make activities easy!
