Pronouns
Look Who's Talking/Thinking Prompt
Pronouns are often a difficult concept - especially for children with social communication delays. This can be especially challenging because some pronouns "flip" depending on who is talking.
Pronouns that Flip - I, Me, and You
- Teacher: "Joey, where did you go today?"
Joey: "I went to school today." - Teacher: "Jane, where did I go today?"
Jane: "You went to the store today." - Teacher: "Joey, did you come with me?"
Joey: "No. I did not come with you."
Look Who's Talking
Speech Kingdom provides an effective audio feature that indicates which character is talking. We call this feature Look Who's Talking and it can be set to automatically play at the start of each set, or can be turned off and played as needed.
