"Leaves Everywhere" ---printable book with icons

     Our first day of school was today for the 2012-13 school year!  It looks good so far!  I also just paid my ASHA convention registration fee---375 big ones!  Luckily my wonderful school system appears willing to reimburse; and I am really very fortunate to live in such an affluent area.  Not everyone is so lucky out there in public school land, and I know it.  In addition, I'm lucky that I can personally afford transportation, housing and food costs while in Atlanta--no thanks to my school salary; extreme thanks to my professional life being subsidized by my husband's corporate pension and stock dividends.  How does a new SLP go to an expensive convention while trying to pay off student loans and raise a family?  It's a big mystery!
convention cost-cutting

  I plan on going cheap, though; and as the 'rogue blogger', in a later post, I'll share with you how to cut costs while at the convention.





   For now, I'd like to share another printable book I made to go along with the fall theme.  It's very similar to my other books, and blandly entitled "Leaves Everywhere".  I think you will like it for its simplicity.
Links for free downloads are at the end of this post.

   This type of book is great for:
  • early literacy
  • pre-reading skills such as matching
  • vocabulary
  • sentence structure
  • prepositions on and under
  • articulation
  • commenting (it was pointed out that on some of the pages, there are comments by onlooking characters.  This hadn't occurred to me as I made them, but they present as nice teachable moments.)
Enjoy this free book.  Not much is free these days, but my things are!

Smarty Symbols is a paid subscription, and I'm offering the Leaves Everywhere book on TPT at a modest price if you do not own the Boardmaker CD or subscription.

    I wanted to let you know how much I truly appreciate you sharing all of your wonderful books! I work in a classroom for students with developmental and cognitive deficits and they love your books. Ants Everywhere was especially loved! So, THANK YOU!
