AAC Sentence Building | Interactive PowerPoint | Simple & Compound Sentences
Teaching sentence structure doesn't have to be complicated. AAC Sentence Building | Interactive PowerPoint | Simple & Compound Sentences uses a fun, interactive drag-and-drop format to help students learn how words work together to form meaningful sentences. Through 438 pages of scaffolded practice, students progress from basic sentence construction to combining ideas with conjunctions and creating their own original sentences using a highly visual, AAC-friendly approach.
Designed for AAC users and students with language delays, this resource systematically targets grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and sentence organization while keeping learning hands-on and engaging. Whether you're working in speech therapy, teletherapy, small groups, or special education classrooms, these activities provide meaningful practice that can be adapted across ages and ability levels.

What Makes This Resource Different?
Many sentence-building activities target only one grammar skill at a time. This resource provides a complete progression from foundational sentence construction to advanced sentence combining within one organized system. Students move from identifying who a sentence is about and what is happening to combining ideas using conjunctions and generating their own original sentences.
With 438 pages of interactive activities, real photos, AAC supports, and a systematic visual framework, you'll have a comprehensive sentence-building resource that can be used across a wide range of ages, ability levels, and therapy settings.
