Letter Maker
Place the date, greeting, message, closing and name, with help that fades as you go.
About 6 to 10 · Knowing the parts of a letter.
Answer your way. Say it, point to it, sign it, tap a picture, or show a card or device. Every way counts the same.
A letter or card has five parts, in the same order: the date, a greeting, a message, a closing and a name. Nothing is timed or marked, and you do not need to write.
Tap a part, then tap its place on the sheet.
For grown-ups
Away from the screen: Make a card for someone and decide what it should say.
- Sit beside them for the first few goes and say the words as you tap, so they hear the sentence as well as see it.
- Wait a little longer than feels natural. Quiet thinking time is part of it.
- Any answer that works is a good answer. If they pick something you did not expect, ask them to tell you about it.
- Pointing, signing, a device or a picture card are all real answers. Speaking is never the test.
- Stop when it stops being fun. A few minutes, often, is better than a long sitting.
- These are games, not assessments. If you have concerns about speech or language, talk to a speech pathologist.
