Introducing speech bubbles are a great way to introduce using voice when reading. There are SO many graphic novels being written for younger children now. The pictures keep interest of any aged child and the story line moves along.
Being demonstrating to young children by using voices when reading books to them. Eventually, teach them about quotation marks and how they are connected.
An activity we love to do is to use photos of themselves. We tape a few on the wall. Make speech bubbles with your kids and even laminate them by covering with packaging tape. Let your kids create what they think or remember what was going through their mind at the time.
Have your child create their own little comic strip with the photos and speech bubbles.
My middle had just gotten a lego stuck in her teeth (third photo). It was so fun to talk about her emotions during that traumatizing time in her life :)
