Zoo Animals Sentence Building Books, Adapted Books

(0)
I see zoo animals, symbol book, sentence building, animal photographs A great sentence building activity which comes complete with symbols. 17 animals included. The symbols come on a separate page. I recommend laminating the pages with empty boxes and pictures on then binding into a book. Cut out the symbol boxes individually and laminate. You can either have these spread out on a board/table for students to choose from or stick them muddled up on the back of the page in front for students to choose from. Brilliant for building sentences with children who need symbols for prompts. Also great for non-verbal students. Instructions are included on first page. This book is real life photographs of zoo animals.
