This resource includes a game board, so students can practice saying their sentences in a fun way.
For Articulation: Students should draw one of the card slips, then read the sentence out loud using their best TH, R, S, and Z sounds. If they pronounce their target sounds correctly, they can roll the dice and move forward that number of spaces on the game board. If they mispronounce any of their target sounds, give them a chance to try again. Let them move two spaces if they are able to pronounce it on the second try, or one space if they say it correctly on the third try. Students can also earn bonus points if they can explain why the sentence doesn't make sense using their correct articulation sounds.
For language:
Students should draw one of the card slips, and then read the sentence out loud. Students must explain why the sentence doesn't make sense. If they do this, they can roll the dice and move forward that number of spaces on the game board. Students can then earn bonus points if they can re-write or re-state the sentence in a way that makes sense. For example, if the sentence says, "Faith wore her wedding ring on her toes," the student can fix it to say, "Faith wore her wedding ring on her finger." If they do this, the student can roll the dice again and move forward that number of spaces.
For fluency:
Students should draw one of the card slips, and then read the sentence out loud. They can practice whichever fluency-shaping or stuttering modification strategy they are working on. Students can also say these sentences to practice pseudo-stuttering. After reading a sentence, students can roll the dice and move forward that number of spaces on the game board. Students can then earn bonus points if they can use their fluency-shaping/stuttering modification strategies to re-state the sentence in a way that makes sense. If they do this, the student can roll the dice again and move forward that number of spaces.
