Description
Discover the magic of language development with interactive books, specifically designed for speech therapy! The community helpers interactive book is a hands-on tool to foster essential language and communication skills. These resources are my go-to in speech therapy for expanding language and students with limited attention!
Target many expressive and receptive language goals (verbs, pronouns, prepositions, following directions) while learning about community helpers!
A great addition to your speech therapy sessions and all-in-one solution for teaching speech therapy: vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, categorization, and more.
➜ The open-ended nature of these resources allows flexibility in teaching many concepts.
➜ These books keep minds engaged and hands busy – Kids love to move the pieces and be in control of the activity!
➜ They are easily adapted to different levels of learners.
➜ Perfect on-the-go therapy tool for traveling SLPs.
➜ They are easily used in mixed groups and from session-to-session.
✅ WHAT’S INCLUDED:
The PDF includes the pages to assemble the interactive flipbook (example on first thumbnail). The book includes 5 scenes: fire station, police station, medical office (doctor, dentist & veterinarian), post office, and a neighborhood (trash collector & crossing guard).
In addition, it includes vehicles and objects to go with the scenes. This interactive book is unique because it contains the inside of the community buildings and appropriate scenes – put the fire out with the hose or put the fireman to sleep in his bed. The book allows you to flip through the scenes and move the characters & objects onto the pages keeping little hands busy and engaged to learn.
In addition to the interactive book:
- 1-step, 2-step, and 3-step directions for the student to follow using the interactive book
- 16 “who” cards
- 9 “what” cards
- 9 “when” cards
- 9 “why” cards
- “Where Am I?” Mini-Book: Identify community helpers with fill-in blanks
- “Where Do They Go?” Matching: Match the community helpers to their work location worksheet
- 18 “Who am I?” inference cards – 2 levels
- Reinforcer activity to use with the wh questions or inference cards
- Work on categorization skills by sorting people/vehicles/items into correct scenes
- Language development charts
You can generalize or implement any of these concepts and more into the interactive flipbook. All activities are in color and black & white.
INTERACTIVE BOOKS TARGET:
- Vocabulary
- WH questions
- Following directions
- Sentence formulation
- Expanding language
- Grammar (pronouns, verbs)
- Categorization and associations
- Matching
- Inferences
- Prepositions
- Attending to task and turn-taking
Assembly of books required. I recommend laminating for durability and one-time creation and using sticky tack for freedom of placement of the people/items for the scene.
▶️ Watch this video to see how I assemble the interactive books.
