There is an excellent language resource I use as one of my main language “curricula.” I highly recommend Language Strategies for Children and Language Strategies for Little Ones by Vicki Prouty & Michele Fagan. These books offer highly functional and educationally relevant strategies for students with language delays, for skills such as active listening, describing, categorizing, comparing and contrasting, story retelling, and much more! With the authors’ permission, below are some materials I have developed to supplement the great materials provided in the books.
Descriptive Words – Shape, Size, and Color for use with “Creature Creator” and “It Makes Sense” sections.
Discover the Pattern Analogies Summary Chart for use with “Analogies” section.
Discover the Pattern Analogies Summary Chart_Analogias_en español for use with “Analogies” section.
Ancient/Modern Olympics Comparison for use with “Compare Contrastadon” section.
Another language program I use is Strategies Offer Solutions: Language and Cognition by Ruthann Jarvis and Elizabeth Peterson. It also offers functional strategies for various language skills in a very tangible and clever way. This program contains wonderful visual reinforcers and practical activities.

The app is designed to encourage children to imitate and use simple sentences using colors and photos of objects. Improve receptive and expressive vocabulary skills, increase phrase length and more!
