This resource contains a Sentence Building / Adapted Book liked to the theme of Community Helpers. This resource comes complete with symbols.
This resource includes 18 different community helpers.
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.
