My Favorite Preschool Books
On this page you will
find a list of my favorite books. These
are books that I have used in therapy throughout the years and that the
students seem to enjoy. I have adapted most
of these books using Boardmaker pictures from MayerJohnson. One-inch pictures are glued into the
book. Additional 2 inch or 2.5 inch
pictures are used for supplemental activities.
These pictures are given to the children to hold as I read the
book. The larger pictures allow the
children to follow the story as I read since the smaller pictures are in the
book. Supplemental activities might
include sequencing the story or answering questions using visual cues.
