I am late to the party, getting my planning done, but I have pushed through a couple of more products that I knew I wanted to do for this week’s Superhero theme. Luckily (or not luckily at all!) I have been sick, so my weekend plans included sitting on the couch…giving me plenty of time to work on these! Happy to report, I am feeling MUCH better…just in time for school tomorrow 🙂
I have a TON of kids working on plurals and past tense verbs and another half ton of kids working on narratives, so I created these two downloads to target those skills!
Up first…Save the Sentences! These superheroes need some help with regular/irregular past tense verbs and regular/irregular plurals. I have included two levels to target each skills…one for your non-readers with pictures and one for your readers with sentences. Each card features a superhero (both male AND female) with a speech bubble containing the target. I also wrote the target skill on each card, to make staying organized a little bit easier. 
This is an example of the Level 1 cards targeting irregular past tense verbs. I included the present tense of the word on the card…mostly just because I wanted to. 
The Level 2 cards have a sentence with an underlined verb in the present tense and students will change it to past. There are 16 cards for each skill, at each level. So, 128 stimulus cards in total. I also added 8 bonus cards, 8 penalty cards, a game board, and an answer key.
Next is Super Story Dice! I’m so excited about this one, mostly because it will unleash the creative juices for my kids! It includes 7 dice templates (2 character dice, 2 settings dice, 2 problems dice, & a blank), graphic organizers, writing page, and a rubric. The dice are super easy to put together…just print, cut, fold, and glue!
I made one dice with males and one with females…so everyone is happy 🙂
There are two settings dice, one is common places and the other is famous landmarks.
And two problems dice…some are typical problems and some a super silly! To play, you will choose one of each kind of dice (character, setting, problem) and have your students roll them all to create their own original story. You can do this as an oral language activity, or use it to target writing. 
There are two graphic organizers to help students create their story, one focuses on beginning, middle, and end and the other on first, next, then, and last. 
Then there is this writing page, which also has a picture box for students to draw their ideas!
And finally, I included a rubric so that you can take data on your students story telling skills! You can use this to establish a baseline and progress monitor!
WHEW! What a weekend. I hope you guys like these new activities! You can find them in my TPT store:
Superhero Sentences: Past Tense & Plurals
Superhero Storytelling!
Feeling lucky? Leave me a comment that includes your email and I will pick two people to win one of these products tomorrow (9/3/13).

My students love superhero activities! I would love to have either of these activities. I love that your Save the Sentences activity has cards for both readers and nonreaders, so it could be used with students who are lower functioning too.

This is exactly what I need! So many of my kiddos are working on language including past tense, narratives, sequencing etc! The theme is good for girls and boys too!
Thamk you for the giveaway. So glad that you are feeling better. Everyone loves superheros so it would be a great addition for the kiddos.

I love your superhero theme! The dice are adorable and the sentence activity looks great! Wendydawn @ rogers.com
I’m pretty sure you are my superhero! Your materials are so creative and detailed, always! I’m following your theme therapy, but lucky for me I just started school, so I’ll be sure to be prepared as you post about new materials. Superheroes are up for me in a few weeks! Awesome!

i already have some superhero items that were on TPT… i would love to add this to my collection!!! :o)
alisonLaustin@gmail.com
What little boy (on all our caseloads) doesn’t love a good superhero activity. Thanks for all the great games you put out for your fellow speechies! emily.weiss1@gmail.com
What a wonderful activity! I also have many students targeting both irregular past tense and narratives. When working on narratives, I often provide the student with several key irregular past tense verbs to include in their story!
sgiser@gmail.com
That sounds so great! I am going to have to get myself a color printer so I can start printing all these wonderful activities. Especially verbs, they are so hard for my bilingual kids to grasp, and working in the Tampa area… there are a lot of Spanish speakers!
kirjohnso@gmail.com
Great theme! I’m especially excited to try out the Story Dice.
drgosse.wordforword@gmail.com
I love that you included a rubric! Thanks! morganlwillis@gmail.com
