Why use sentence strips?!  They are a great way to encourage expanded utterance length!!  I like to use cloze sentences on them to model how to respond or describe using expanded utterances.  Some samples of teaching the following targets:

  • Sequencing/transition words: "First _____" "Finally _____"
  • Categorization: "The _____ is a fruit."
  • Describing: "The _____ is yellow." "The _______ has a wheel."
I LOVE sentence strips so much, I often include them in my TpT products!!  I often use Boardmaker symbols when I use sentence strips with my nonreaders or poor readers.  Check out below some products that use these sentence strips:

I hope you find these ideas helpful!  How do you use sentence strips?!  Stay tuned for next month's post!!
