#5 Fill in the Blank — Single Word

🟡 Building Skills

Sentences with one word missing. Supports word finding and reading. Harder than Sentence Completion (#7) because the blank is mid-sentence, requiring the person to hold context on both sides.

#6 Category Sorting

🟢 Early Recovery

Sort words into groups. Great for semantic memory and word organization.

#13 Semantic Feature Analysis

🟡 Building Skills

An evidence-based exercise where the person describes a word by its features. Strengthens word retrieval networks.

I need to create a workbook for someone with aphasia using the Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) approach. Create 8 target words (common nouns — things like "banana," "hammer," "dog"). For each word, create a chart with six blank spaces labeled: Group (category), Action (what it does), Properties (what it looks/feels like), Location (where you find it), Association (what it reminds you of), and Use (what it's for). The person fills in the features. Keep layout clear and printable.

#14 Responsive Naming

🟢 Early Recovery

Answering simple "what" questions that prompt a single-word response. Great for early recovery and building naming confidence.

I need to create a workbook for someone with aphasia. Create 15 responsive naming questions — simple "what" or "where" questions with a single-word answer.

📖 Reading & Writing 4 prompts

#7 Sentence Completion

🟢 Early Recovery

Sentences with the last word missing. Context in the sentence makes the missing word predictable — this is often the easiest word-finding exercise type.

I need to create a workbook for someone with aphasia. Make a sentence completion worksheet with 10 sentences. Each sentence should have the LAST WORD blank — not a word in the middle. The missing word should be highly predictable from context. Examples: "I drink water from a ___." "She put the letter in the ___." Provide a word bank of 12 words (including 2 extras). Sentences should be 5-8 words long.

Words are given out of order — the person puts them in the right sequence.

I need to create a workbook for someone with aphasia. Make a sentence unscrambling worksheet. Write 8 simple sentences, then break each one into individual words listed in scrambled order. The person rearranges the words to make the correct sentence. Keep sentences short (4–6 words).

#15 Single-Word Writing Practice

🟢 Early Recovery

Labeling and single-word generation. Builds early written expression skills.

I need to create a workbook for someone with aphasia to practice writing single words. Create a worksheet with two sections. Section 1: 10 simple line drawings or clear object names to copy (like "cup," "dog," "sun"). Section 2: 10 fill-in prompts where the person writes one word (e.g., "I drink ___" with choices like water/milk/tea, or "The sky is ___"). Use large, clear formatting with plenty of writing space. Keep all words 3-5 letters when possible.

Tips: Customize Your Prompts

Every prompt above is a starting point. Here are simple ways to make them work even better:

Change the topic

Add "Use a topic about [sports / cooking / gardening / travel]" to the end of any prompt.

Change the difficulty

Easier: Add "Use very simple words, 3–4 words per sentence maximum."
Harder: Add "Use slightly more complex sentences and vocabulary."

Change the length

Add "Make it [1 page / 3 pages / 10 questions / 20 questions]"

Add a personal touch

Add "Use the name [Maria] in the exercises" or "Use topics this person loves, like baseball and cooking."

If the output isn't right

Just reply to the AI: "Make the sentences shorter" or "Use simpler words" or "Format it with larger text." AI tools remember your conversation — you don't have to start over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use ChatGPT for aphasia practice?
Using AI to generate practice worksheets is generally safe when a caregiver reviews the output before sharing it with the person recovering. AI tools can produce occasional errors or exercises at the wrong difficulty level, so human oversight matters. These tools are meant to supplement — not replace — a licensed speech-language pathologist.
What's the best AI tool for aphasia worksheets?
Any of the major free AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) work well for generating aphasia practice materials. ChatGPT is the most widely used and beginner-friendly. Claude tends to produce more nuanced reading passages and longer exercises. Try a few and see which fits your workflow.
How often should someone with aphasia practice?
Research consistently shows that consistent, frequent practice leads to better recovery outcomes than occasional long sessions. Most clinicians recommend 15-30 minutes of structured practice daily, supplementing weekly speech therapy sessions. Even 5-10 minutes a day is meaningful.
Can AI replace a speech therapist?
No. AI can generate practice materials, but it cannot evaluate language skills, identify aphasia type, set treatment goals, or adjust therapy in response to progress. Think of AI-generated worksheets as homework between SLP sessions, not as a substitute for professional evaluation and treatment.
What type of aphasia do these prompts work for?
The prompts on this page are designed to work across aphasia types (Broca's, Wernicke's, anomic, global, and others). Difficulty can be adjusted by asking the AI to make sentences shorter, words simpler, or topics more familiar. If you know the specific aphasia type, bias your prompt selection toward skills most relevant to that type.
Are these prompts free to use?
Yes. All prompts on this page are free to copy and use with any AI tool. The AI tools themselves are also free (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot all offer free tiers that handle these prompts without limit for typical use).
Where can I get more structured aphasia practice?
Aphasia Studio is a language practice platform designed specifically for people with aphasia, built by a speech-language pathologist. It provides structured daily exercises across naming, reading, comprehension, and more.

These worksheets are a great supplement — but consistent, structured practice makes the biggest difference in recovery.
