LANGUAGE RESOURCES 

PELICAN TALK currently has three language resources that are used in early intervention and in schools. Both resources come with loads of pictures for language work and pages of instructions and suggested uses.

MY FIRST BARRIER GAMES  ©  AU$45  

This resource  not only works on concept development (big, small, top, bottom and so on), but it also teaches the notion of referential communication - that is, the idea that a listener does not automatically know what you are thinking ; you have to make your messages clear enough to "refer to them the information that you know." . This is the beauty of having a barrier in place.  Clear and specific language is promoted through barrier game activities.

FUN WITH SEQUENCES ©      AU$30  

This resource develops the concept of order and sequence. It is unlike some sequence activities in that there are optional endings for some of the sequences -  the child can choose an end to the story. The pictures can be printed out and made into cards or inserted into slideshows if your child likes computers. Fun with Sequences teaches time concepts as well, such as first, next, finally and so on.
