Questions
Is this speech therapy?
No. These are practice and conversation aids. A speech-language pathologist decides what a child needs.
Do the answers matter word for word?
No. The answer sheet shows one short answer; accept any answer that makes sense.
Why no name box?
So nothing about a child is typed or kept. Write the name on the printed page by hand.
