The New Way to Target Sequencing & Storytelling Skills
SPARK Sequence Cards go beyond basic sequencing, they’re easy to use, versatile, and perfect for targeting a wide range of language goals.
Each pack comes with a user manual featuring ‘why’ questions and hypothetical problem-solving tasks for every picture scene to encourage deeper thinking.
Beautifully illustrated with rich detail, these cards develop picture interpretation skills and critical thinking, providing the perfect challenge for your child’s growing abilities.
How to Use the SPARK Cards
Articulation:
Circle objects featuring target sounds. Practice words or phrases, then have your child tell a story about the scene.
Expressive Language:
- Vocabulary: Label objects and concepts, describe and categorise them.
- Sentence Structure: Help your child build sentences using target words, focusing on increasing sentence length and complexity.
- Narrative Skills: Teach story elements (character, setting, plot, climax, conflict) and encourage sequential storytelling with conjunctions and transition words.
- Main Idea: Have your child identify titles or main ideas for each card or set.
- Pronouns: Practice correct pronoun use by circling characters and formulating sentences.
- Verb Usage: Work on tense (past, present, future), plurals, and irregular verbs while describing scenes.
Receptive Language:
- Sequencing: Arrange cards in logical order using inference.
- WH- Questions: Use prompt cards to ask WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW questions.
Social Skills:
- Emotions: Use markers to add speech and thought bubbles to explore feelings and thoughts of characters.
- Problem Solving: Discuss cause and effect, and brainstorm possible solutions to problems depicted in scenes.
