Literacy-Based Speech Language Therapy Activities

Writing a 4-Part Narrative

For some (most) students, the 16-part narrative is still too big of a leap. We start by creating a story
that has a single picture with four parts. It is practice for what’s to come. Younger students can
draw a picture and you can write what they say, older students don’t even need to draw the picture if

they are writing at higher level already. Begin by having them attempt to tell the story and write or
draw what they think was in it.

 Write WHO-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE on the paper (or copy you doing it)
 Circle WHO-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE with 4 different colors
 Color by Color, correct their work together
 “Let’s start with WHO. My WHO is RED.”
 “WHO tells us the___________, that’s right the person.”
 “Look at your picture/sentence, did you include the person?”
 Eventually they can switch papers with their groupmates to correct each other’s work and
eventually self-correct.
Two important notes:

 Throughout all of these activities, YOU are doing the same thing alongside them. Have a
template out for yourself and be drawing, writing, and circling.
 Remember what we said about data collection? They are taking it for you. “STUDENT
answered x/4 “WH” questions with a model...”

Here are some examples using Cactus Soup and Chato and His Friends. They are a little hard to read but
we wanted to convey the general idea.
