Introduction
The Whole Story Sentence Builder Kit is a 21-page printable PDF designed for children ready to build three-part sentences by hand. With a sentence mat featuring three slots—WHO, DOING, and THE THING—plus 120 color-coded word tiles and 91 wordless scene cards, this resource supports learners who already join two words and are ready to expand. Perfect for children with speech delay, autism, or those using AAC, it turns sentence building into an engaging, hands-on activity.
Expanding two words to three is at the heart of this kit, helping children master subject + verb + object sentence building and word order. Learners practice sorting somebodies, doings, and things, while developing early fine-motor work as they match tiles to scenes. The kit's step-by-step method encourages children to say each word as they build, supporting expressive language and communication growth.
Home, classroom, and therapy settings all benefit from the flexible approach of this sentence builder. Sorting somebodies, doings, and things becomes a natural part of play, making it easy to adapt for speech therapy, special education, or family language time. The visual supports and answer guides ensure success for every learner, no matter their communication style.
