🎉 and the 10th and final principle for narrative intervention shared by Petersen & Spencer....make it fun!⁣-⁣This should come as no surprise, but if you aren’t enjoying what is going on then neither will your kids.
⁣🎉 Use student interests to chose text⁣
🎉 Be animated and encouraging⁣
🎉 Get outside of the box with activities ⁣
-⁣The paper Narrative Intervention: Principles for Practice by Petersen & Spencer ( 2020 ) provides a practical groundwork for any SLP looking to start integrating narrative language into their sessions.
⁣-⁣Look at just one principle and try to implement that, then another, and so on. You will be surprised how much you probably already do and how you can make it even better without adding more stress to your day.⁣
-⁣Narrative language is literacy based therapy’s BFF, so let’s keep the dream team together and rock those sessions!⁣-⁣#thespeechbubbleslp #schoolslp # slplife #speechtherapy

This is your chance to get everyone in on the fun 🎉 and let your kids shine
.⁣-⁣Intentionally planning for generalization opportunities is key. One way is to involve classroom teachers in the intervention and it can be done in such an easy way.⁣-⁣I have found the most effective way to be sharing the visual icons I use for narrative language with the teacher for them to use with the class and even doing a mini lesson with the class on how to use them⁣
💡My kids already know it, so they feel like the experts⁣💡 Other kids benefit from it too⁣
💡 The teacher didn’t have to plan the lesson
⁣-⁣In the years I have been doing this I have not had one teacher turn me down and many continue to use the system!⁣

If the story is purposefully selected, SLPs can focus intervention for some children on basic targets such as using the story grammar elements while encouraging other children to practice advanced targets such as using more complex sentences or complex vocabulary.⁣⁣
-⁣⁣
Depending on the age and development of the children, SLPs can extend their interventions to promote grade-appropriate academic and social skills.💕⁣⁣
-⁣⁣
This principle is I feel is one that is the biggest wins to using narrative language intervention within literacy-based therapy. We are also asked to do more with less but this ends up stressing us out and making us feel like failures. This is a way to get a lot of bang for your buck without adding stress to your plate.⁣⁣

Prompts are key, especially when we are phasing out visuals, making our selection of prompting strategies and methods crucial to growth. ⁣-⁣The authors discuss a methods called Two-Step Prompting in the article. An over simplified way to think about this is first asking a question that includes specific information about what the child missed or should have mentioned and then modeling the response.⁣-⁣Bringing these strategies into your sessions with narrative, and then to literacy-based therapy can be exactly what your sessions need to give your students that extra linguistic boost. ⁣-⁣#schoolslp #thespeechbubbleslp #speechtherapy #slplife

🚨Just sharing this reminder.
-
If your students need accommodations to be successful in class, then they are entitled to them. The accommodations must relate to their area of need and goals.
And yes, that includes those ‘speech sound only’ kids.

Have you written accommodations for your speech only kids lately?

Feedback is one of our most powerful tools⁣!⁣ -⁣⁣

Feedback is one of our most powerful tools⁣!⁣
-⁣⁣
Effective feedback: ⁣⁣
🧠 Focuses on what the child should do and minimizes attention given to the incorrect response.⁣⁣
🧠 Is immediate.⁣⁣
🧠 Is specific. If they are wrong, provide the correct information for them, don’t hint or make them guess. This information is new to them and you don’t want to perpetuate any further incorrect assumptions longer than needed. ⁣⁣
-⁣⁣
The story grammar components operate like the links in a chain that function properly when arranged in a certain order. For that reason, when a child skips a story grammar element, it can be helpful to have them practice the correct sequence again immediately following the correction.⁣⁣

The following information is shared from the article Narrative Intervention: Principles to Practice by Peterson & Spencer 2020. This can be viewed on ASHSWire. ⁣⁣

Storytelling is a very demanding task for students

Storytelling is a very demanding task for students with language disabilities. Combining visuals/icons for the parts of the story ( the most popular method ) helps students learn cognitive schema. ⁣
-⁣There are many options out there so it is important to figure out what is going to work best for your students. I ended up creating a variation of my own to fit my student’s needs. This is what I teach in Level Up with Literacy Based Therapy:⁣- Character⁣- Setting⁣- Problem⁣- Feeling⁣- Repair⁣- Attempt⁣- Reaction⁣- End⁣-⁣I have a free, downloadable poster of these icons in my TpT store that you can get and share with your kids.
⁣-⁣This intervention principle is taken from from the article by Peterson & Spencer 2020, Narrative Intervention: Principles to Practice. ⁣

❤ When teaching storytelling, it is important to make the activity meaningful and relevant to children.⁣

That means: ⁣💕Building background knowledge⁣💕Using Dialogic Reading questions⁣💕Using a story that has a complete episode ⁣
-⁣
These aspects help to build the connections student’s need to make the content applicable and show them how to use the skills you are working on.
