Third Person Singular
Verb tense is difficult to teach. Seems like kids do well in drill but do not transfer the skill to conversation. I find that drilling one verb over and over adds to the child's success (provides a foundation for learning other verbs). In Who eats....?, the child forms sentences with the verb eats (A rabbit eats a carrot. A bird eats a worm. A penguin eats fish). Then other verbs are practiced (A rabbit hops. A bird flies. A penguin swims).
Regular Past
The regular past verb tense is practiced with the verb colored. Children color a group of pictures then the SLP asks, Who colored the balloon? Who colored the frog? Who colored the cake? Expansion activities are included using other verbs.
Irregular Past
Irregular past verb tense is practiced with the verb drew. Children draw pictures then the SLP asks, Who drew the football? Who drew the apple? Who drew the whistle? Pictures of people and objects (24) are provided to practice a variety of irregular past tense verbs.
