Farm Animal Sentence Building Adapted Books

Farm Animal Sentence Building Adapted Books

(0)
This resource contains a sentence building / adapted book based on the theme of Farm Animals. The book includes 12 different animals and comes complete with symbols to use to complete the book. 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 the first page for you to get the best use out of this resource with your students. This book contains real life photographs of farm animals.
