Story Making: Using Predictable Literature to Develop Communication

Watch language and literacy come together as you add these fun and functional activities to your lessons! Story Making uses predictable, repetitive sentences from children's favorite literature to generate child-authored stories. Each book contains stories and dozens of suggestions for additional activities to improve communication and literacy skills. The stories complement classroom activities by cross-referencing special curricular themes (e.g., transportation, time).

Reproducible materials include: 44 pattern stories, illustrations, forms for monitoring progress, parent resources and response forms, procedural outlines.

Use the reproducible activities to meet IEP goals in: phonology, semantics, syntax, thinking skills and written language.
