EXTENSION ACTIVITIES

Extension activities give you an opportunity to increase your student’s overall language development while targeting phonological awareness skills

Vocabulary Development

By using the target words within each skill area, you can extend learning opportunities and develop vocabulary. After the student responds to the target stimulus, have him or her:
• Name a word associate with the target word (ball: bat, glove etc.)
• Name a category that target words belong to (pig, cat, cow: animals)
• Describe or define a target word (bird: animal, flies, lives in a nest/tree, eats words, has wings etc.)
• Name antonyms / synonyms for a target word (small: big/little)
• Name two meanings of a target word (Watch – #1 an object worn on the wrist to tell the time, or #2 the action of looking at something)

Syntactical Development

By using the target words within each skill are, you can extend learning opportunities, develop sentence structure and promote learning of correct grammar. After the student responds to the target stimulus item, have him or her use the target word in a complete sentence giving a verbal prompt to elicit:
• Past tense (teacher prompts: “yesterday…”)
• Present tense (teacher prompts: “Today…”)
• Future tense (teacher prompts “Tomorrow …”)
