Speech and Language Vocabulary Pictures Book 2

By Hettie Brazil

This book is incredibly simple - just a collection of photographs compiled to help you talk to your child about vocabulary. Speech and language therapists often use pictures or picture cards to teach children to name objects or to form sentences.This book is not meant to replace speech and language therapy sessions, however I hope it may complement the sessions, by enabling you to practise this process at home, following any guidance from your speech and language therapist.Some of the pictures may seem unusual or unexpected, but this is to give your child the opportunity to meet a variety of words. Some words or sentences are repeated with different photographs, to help consolidate. This is not meant to be a book which is read from beginning to end, or all in one go, but rather to dip into as and when you as the adult think it will be relevant to your child or useful. This book is split into:Chapter 1 - 'Subject Verb Object' Pictures (such as, "The man is riding a bike."). The adult can point to the photo and ask: "What is happening in this picture?" The child can practise responding: "The man is riding a bike." Chapter 2 - 'Subject Verb Preposition Object' Pictures (such as, "The man is sitting on a rock."). The adult can point to the photo and ask: "What is happening in this picture?"The child can practise responding: "The man is sitting on the ground."Note: You might need to help your child respond correctly, for example by asking your child questions to help them say the whole sentence, or by modelling the full sentence and asking them to try to say it themselves. You could look at a few photographs a day and encourage your child to tell you what or who is in the picture or what is happening in the picture. You do not need to insist that they say the exact phrase written in the caption. In fact, there is often room for interpretation in a picture, and different people may use different vocabulary (for example, 'bird' for 'owl' or 'bike' for 'bicycle'). Praise your child lots!Although each photograph is captioned, it is not intended that the child read the caption. The caption is simply there to help give the adult an idea of how to describe the picture. If desired, you can cover the text while showing the child the picture. There is an example at the beginning of each chapter, but you needn't feel limited to using the book in this way. Feel free to dip in and out of the pictures to use them however helps your child! Don't forget to use the 'Look Inside' feature to try before you buy!Other books in the series...You may also be interested in the first book in the series, "Speech and Language Vocabulary Pictures Book 1" which covers:What is it? / Who is it?- These are 'Single Word' Pictures (such as, "man", which answers the question: "Who is it?"or "dog", which answers the question: "What is it?").What's happening in this picture? These are:- 'Subject Verb' Pictures (such as, "The man is smiling."), which answer the question: "What's happening in this picture?"
