FREE Father's Day Interactive Book

Mother's Day is in two days, but let's not forget about Dad!  His special day is outside of a typical school year, but if you are not in school then, celebrate early!

This is an interactive book to go with Father’s Day. This book is meant for the more linguistically challenged students and is perfect for  speech/special ed collaboration. The interactive book focuses on verbs associated commonly with fathers. These are the same verbs that were in my Mother’s Day interactive book found in my store. Clipart is by Smarty Symbols copyright 2017.

Enclosed:
What do Dads Do? Verbs, Verbs, Verbs” real photo interactive book (pages 3-13)
Icons for ‘What do Dads Do? (page 14)
Sentence Frame for “What do Dads Do?” (page 15)
All free of charge.  Let’s not forget about the important dads out there!

"It's Raining"---Free Interactive Book

I recently went to a workshop run by Karen Erickson.  There is not enough space on this page to list all of her skills and accomplishments, but please look up her various projects here.  The workshop was an awesome reminder why I like working with students with significant verbal challenges.

I like creating interactive books.  These books are meant to not be for mere matching, but for shared reading.  The interactive piece is nice for highlighting concepts, and keeping attention, but a core board should always accompany this so the adult can model comments.  You can download samples of core vocabulary here.

Anyway, we just had an awesome rain shower last night in Chapel Hill, which reminded me that weather is a common topic in an elementary classroom. I created a free interactive book just for all of my internet friends struggling with finding materials with no instructional budget.  Have fun!
