Description

Adapt your favorite therapy picture books for your AAC users! This download includes symbol adaptations for your favorite spring books! Cut out each core word symbol sentence strip and tape it into the book below the text. You might want to use removable double sided tape! I create a lending library by buying three copies of each book from Scholastic. On the front of each book, I write "please return to XX Speech Dept." I send one copy home to parents, put one in the classroom, and keep one to use in speech! This download comes with Smarty Symbol sentences of up to three words. It focuses on Core Words and only includes a few fringe vocabulary words.

16 Books included. (You will need to purchase these books)

Step 1. Download this file.

Step 2. Click on each symbol once. Replace the symbols with any JPG of symbols your student uses.

If your students are using Smarty Symbols on their device, you're good to go! If you're using my free core board, you're ready to cut! If your student isn't using that program, you'll need to edit the symbols.

A parent letter is included. It's editable and includes helpful hints for parents.

An Evidence in Action page is included with links to evidence based practice research articles for Core Words.

Jenna is the BOMB - all her resources are well made and thought through. I ended up saving a copy on Acrobat once I found the symbols I needed for a book- as it had a hard time processing all the images if I didn’t (or would freeze and return to the original). Being in Australia - had never heard of some of these books but found them on eBay or World of Books. Used them for homework for my preschool client - he wouldn’t read with me but it worked perfectly with his Mum.
