Big Sentences by Little Learners: Emergent Syntax & Grammar

Keen to build oral language in early childhood? These slide decks were created and generously shared by Melinda Hinch, a Speech-Language Pathologist in Greater Essex County DSB. Each deck follows a scope and sequence of syntax and grammar structures, and uses an explicit « I do it, We do it, You do it » framework to build syntax through engaging, explicit oral instruction.

Consider them a precursor to the Syntax Project slide decks for grades 1 and up!
