Early Sentence Types Tracker
Does thinking about grammar make your stomach hurt?
I used to feel insecure about my syntax knowledge. It was uncomfortable to be an SLP without a firm understanding of what constructs my clients were producing - and what constructs I could be working on next.
So, I created a tool to help myself learn grammatical categories + combinations WHILE I tracked data. Two in one. Practically applied.
Lee and Koenigsknecht’s “Developmental Sentence Types” chart (pages 86-87 of the 1974 “Developmental Sentence Analysis”) is a rich resource, but I needed a resource with clearer visual categories and room to track clients’ examples!
I created a colorful, bright, and handy master chart, breakout charts, and data trackers for the 121 subtypes (you read that right - 121!) . Examples have been clarified, expanded, and diversified.
This 29-page guide and data tracker will organize the complexities of your clients’ early sentences and early syntax. Use this as a planner and data collection tool for your language clients.
Includes:
A clean, colorful, printable companion chart to Lee’s 1974 DST chart
5 printable breakout charts
5 nitty-gritty data trackers for early sentence types
Please note: this is a tracking guide and tool - not a diagnostic, screener, framework, therapy approach, or framework. DST is one conceptualization of grammar development that is used by NLA to work with GLPs. I use this tool to track production patterns, notice what constructs a child is not yet producing, and build my expertise on syntactic structures. I do not endorse NLA, DST, or DSS as the best or primary methods for working with clients and making therapy decisions. My aim is to provide organized, motivating tools for clinicians to make their own decisions about language intervention.
