Who can guess what our topic today is…?
If you guessed “What the Ladybird Heard,” you’re right! 🐞
Rhyming stories like this one are such powerful therapy tools, and we’re using it in lots of fun, hands-on ways today:
✨ Phonological awareness
We explore rhyming, syllable clapping, blending, and identifying sounds, all through the rhythm and repetition of the story.
✨ Vocabulary building
With sensory trays, clients can see, feel, and hear new words in different ways. This multi‑sensory approach helps with learning, retaining, and recalling vocabulary.
✨ Following directions
Colouring tasks become a language workout: “Find the blue cow,” “Colour the duck yellow.” Children match colour + animal to complete the challenge.
✨ Narrative skills
Using pictures, toy animals, or our sensory farm, we can retell the story together, working on comprehension, sequencing, and those key narrative questions:
Who was in the story
What happened
Where did it take place
When did it happen
Why did the characters act the way they did?
It’s amazing how one story book can open the door to so many rich speech and language opportunities!
