I guess I'd emphasize the building blocks of sentences. Subject verb or subject verb object (you might need to find simpler words for these concepts). This game might help her practice putting these building blocks in the right order. You as the grown-up model writing a sentence with the right building blocks, the computer scrambles it, then the child puts the pieces back in the right order.
She can talk but rarely any adverbs or adjectives.( I want juice mom. Mom T. is in trouble again. ) J. has problem with prepositional phrases .
Hmmm... i had a difficult time in elementary school with sentance structure. To this day people think i have a very minor speech impediment, tho I talk pretty fluiantly, in times of stress or if their is alot goin on around me or if i have other things on my mind I tend to mess up my sentences while speaking. I can write well tho (typing) tho i have the opposite problem, while I think ym sentances make sence, I cant spell well, but probably cause I type fast.
I have a feeling over time hell do much better, he is quite young, and I bet he will communicate well in adult hood, but their may be a slight lingering problem with verbal communication possibly as in my case, nothing to prevent me from gettin out what I need to.
I still talk in small sentences now. There are work books that can help with this also. I think we do this since we have spd also. Not sure if this will help but there is a game called silly sentences which is puzzle like game and all of the different parts of the sentence must be in order of it won't build a puzzle sentence....the sentences are silly( if you want them to be)but gramatically correct.

This sounds good is it a game you buy?Do you make it up? PLease tell me more info about it. Sentence issues. Does anyone know how to get your kid to make Sentences, that make sense? J sentences look like repetitive words. (all spelled right), with Captial and . but they make no sense. You get the idea after 5 sentence. Example. Fish is she J. and. Cats to not I is she no no the butterfly beautiful (ok she does spell beautiful right, I spelled it at age 5 buetfoll, I have my essay from the I-step in K). You get my point. How did you get your kids to make Sentences that make sense ? anyone?
Semantics and Pragmatics?
How is her speech?
I think this is the game drmomtojoe was referring to:

what are the names of the work books, ISBN You could try magnetic poetry...
those are really cute. I'm going to buy them with rhyming. They look like the ones from the 80's except bigger and happier looking.
Oh, and in school T is now learning to pick out proper sentences from sentence frags, etc. So to some extent it is taught.
Wondering if it is like what T does with letters -- eve nthough she is learning to read and spell, now, she persistently uses letters decoratively and in no particular order -- kind of like we use Asian characters, and in Asia they use English words! Our kids are so intensely visual, that'd make some sense ...
