What are the Conversation Starter Cards?
⌄
Three pages after the cover. Pages 1 and 2 hold 24 numbered cards to cut out, such as Who is in your family?, What is your favorite food? and Would you rather fly like a bird or swim like a fish? Page 3 has 4 conversation rules (look at the speaker, wait your turn, ask a follow-up question, say something kind) and a Talk Partner Checklist.
Can I use the Conversation Starter Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade speech & language, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade conversation skills resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are conversation skills resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these conversation skills resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
