Instruction
To begin the session, we will review what we completed in last week’s session
Prior to the therapist reading the book to Alexandra, she will state what she
thinks she might see in this book. This will help her to think of different
Halloween vocabulary on her own. The therapist will then read, “Pumpkins
everywhere” story book. Throughout the book, the therapist will question
her on vocabulary skills asking “what is that”? or asking “where are the
pumpkins” prompting her to use prepositional phrases to answer. Using
subject+verb+object sentences, Alexandra will answer appropriately with a
carrier sentence “I see a __” or “the pumpkin is __”. Following the story, the
therapist and Alexandra will play an open ended Halloween board game while

using the pumpkin worksheet allowing Alexandra to use complete sentences.
This worksheet has pumpkins that you match with a ”he” bear and a “she”
bear using a complete sentence. When she does she will be able to take a
turn on the game. In the next activity, the therapist and Alexandra will play
“hide and go seek”. The therapist will hide object around the room for Alex to
find. When she finds one, Alex will have to tell where she found it (ie: in front
of the book) in a complete sentence using subject-verb-object. Before the last
activity, the therapist will probe Alexandra about prepositions to see what she
knows and what she has learned from last session. The therapist will review
“top/bottom”, “in front of/behind”, and “above/below”. Lastly, the therapist
will read Alex clues from the “Say and Do” worksheet and she will have to find
the appropriate Halloween vocabulary. When she finds the correct one, Alex
will be able to color the picture.
