What can Dogs Do? A printable adapted book

A while back, I posted about a printable book--"What Can Cats Do?"    This has been very popular, but someone left a comment that they wished the book was about dogs.  I guess I take requests!  I looked on Tarheel Reader, and rewrote one of the dog books  so the sentences were present progressive, and I then added a question to each page.  I also included a page of Boardmaker icons for adapting this, and....... Presto!  That reader's wish has been granted!  I hope she reads this---it's my 'random act of kindness' for the week.

This book, like the cats book, is great for verbs, and the icons can be used to add different subjects---"dog swing", "boy swing".  The language is simple and patterned, and the pictures are great.  Sample activities--

• Act out each page with stuffed animals
• Print the book without the text--ask the kids to tell you what's happening
• Have the kids add a new page. They can draw (or act out with a stuffed animal) a different action.  Take a picture and add it!
• Compare and contrast the cat book with the dog book.  What's the same? What's different?
• Artic---lots of simple consonants here that repeat themselves!
• AAC---these words can all be programmed into a static cell AAC device along with some comments

I'm sure there's a lot more, but it's Friday night.  My brain is tired : /

I want this dog.

Here is a link to a free download of this book and the icons from Google Docs. Google is miracle!


Have a nice weekend!  

P.S.  I now have a "Counting Horses" verb book here.
