Text Message Conversations No Print Social Language Phone Activity

Finding functional social language resources for older students can be challenging. This resource uses something most older students are very familiar with- text messaging- to target conversational turns.

This resource contains:

• A brief, one-page lesson/visual for how to respond in conversations (comment, question, answer)
• 3 levels of practice for a total of 60 text message scenarios.

This resource includes the following formats/versions:

• The PRINTABLE PDF is black-line only (no color ink) and works great to use in face-to-face sessions or to send as homework. There are 4 scenarios per page, for a total of 15 usable pages. Students can write their responses on the lines or say them aloud.
• The NO PRINT PDF is a full-color resource with clickable navigation and fillable text boxes for responses. Each page has one scenario (for a total of 60 pages), making it a great activity to use on a PDF reader app on a tablet, teletherapy platform, computer, or interactive whiteboard.
