Talk 2 Learn

By Mary Dahlgren, Ed.D., Melody Aufill, and Kendra Schenk

Talk 2 Learn oral language cards and activities promote and develop oral language foundation in the early childhood classroom through a variety of engaging activities, each centered around a specific theme, such as transportation, community helpers, animals, and more. 

Engaging and fun, Talk 2 Learn asks students to use sentence stems and starter questions to demonstrate their understanding of the theme while building background knowledge and vocabulary.

Here are some of the themes you’ll find in the Talk 2 Learn activity sets:

  • Transportation – now available!

  • Community Helpers

  • Animals

  • Farm

While using the oral language cards, students demonstrate their understanding of the topic being discussed, and they use individual pictures to:

 

  • Put syllable puzzles together

  • Distinguish between one, two, three, and four syllable words

  • Match words that rhyme

  • Match words with the same initial phoneme

  • Use sound boxes to count phonemes in words

 

The teacher’s guide includes student-friendly, explicit, systematic routines to facilitate in teaching the content and explicit routines for teaching each of the theme’s vocabulary words.
