If you are looking for a fun and creative way to help your
child practice
pronoun usage, just pick up your camera and head out to your
favorite public
place. Poloroid or mini-Poloroid cameras (like the I-Zone)
can add to the fun
as pictures develop before the photographer's eyes.
- While pretending to be on a secret spy mission, encourage
your child to
take pictures of people going about their daily activities.
- Once your child finds the subject(s) for the picture,
ask questions about
what he, she or they are doing. Help your child generate
the appropriate
pronouns and sentence structure by providing models and
feedback. For example,
in response to the sentence "Her is eating ice cream." you
can say "Yes, SHE is
eating ice cream."
- Pictures can be mounted to construction paper or poster
board as part of a
sentence fill-in activity that addresses pronoun usage
and sentence structure.
