FREE printable expressive language worksheets

Here are some fantastic resources for verbal and written expressive language.  
They were developed by a very generous clinician named Rebecca Visintin who has traveled the world whilst working as a speech pathologist.  

These sheets are great homework companions or for therapy use as they target syntax and verb tenses in both expressive and written language. Adapt the worksheets to suit your child’s goals and consider working on pronouns, the SVO structure and other language areas.

Consider using the worksheets for picture descriptions or story telling as a higher level language task.
