AAC | Picture Description Short Story | Visual Guide Resource 5

AAC Picture Description Short Story Visual Guide Resource 5 is an educational resource designed specifically for educators and therapists. Its main goal is improving the language development, communication, and early literacy skills of children with special education needs (SEN), speech therapy patients, as well as mainstream classroom students primarily from preschool through grade two.

This resource combines various teaching aids including:

• Real-life pictures
• Color-coded sentence strips
• Familiar themes like WHO / WHAT DOING / WHERE / WHEN / WEATHER / SURROUNDINGS/ THOUGHTS represented on separate pages
• Description of clothes or individual's appearance etc.

The learning journey begins with a real-life photo that serves as the basis for all ensuing activities then leverages color-coded sentence strips to help children formulate narratives around familiar themes. Additional features include descriptions of clothing worn by individuals in photos and sequential answer boards that allow narrative formation through randomized questioning.

An added attribute of this resource pack is the inclusion of blank colour coded pages which invite learners to contribute creatively- customizing stories in their unique way thus strengthening their communication roots further.

The AAC Picture Description Short Story Visual Guide Resource 5 offers immense flexibility - use it en masse during whole-group instruction sessions or divide it among smaller groups; distribute it for homework assignments enhancing independent thinking; make use of task cards material available within; or even creating minibooks complete with descriptive strips and boards!
