Sentence Structure, Speech, Social Skills, and Narrative Skills
Social Skills
Conversation Builder-Conversation Builder is designed to help elementary aged
children learn how to have multi-exchange conversations with their peers in a variety of social settings. The auditory pattern of conversation is presented in a visual format to help students recognize and master the flow of conversation. Students will learn when it is appropriate to introduce themselves, ask questions, make observations and change the subject of the conversation. Being able to converse with peers is the cornerstone of developing relationships, and Conversation Builder promotes development of this skill that so many elementary aged children struggle with in a fun and engaging way.
