About the Product
Introduction
First Sentences: I See, I Like, Let Me – 3-Word Commenting Cards is a 20-page digital PDF designed for children moving from two-word phrases to their first full sentences. This resource supports young learners, including those with speech delay, autism, or who use signs or AAC, as they practice three-word sentence building in a structured, visual format. Each card features a fixed sentence starter, making it easy for children to comment, share, and participate in early conversations.
Children develop skills in stating preferences and opinions as they use phrases like I like cookie or I see bus. Practicing these sentence frames helps children move beyond simple requests, encouraging them to express what they notice, what they enjoy, and when they want to try something independently. Measurable outcomes include increased commenting and sharing attention, as well as greater confidence in joining conversations.
Families, teachers, and therapists can use these cards during daily routines, small group lessons, or speech therapy sessions. Claiming independence becomes a natural part of learning when children use phrases like let me try in play, at mealtime, or during classroom activities. The cards fit seamlessly into home practice, therapy carryover, and inclusive classroom settings.
