Our storybook-based literacy sets are designed to turn favorite read-alouds into meaningful opportunities for language, literacy, and AAC learning. Each set pairs an engaging children’s book with ready-to-use activities that support vocabulary, comprehension, retell, categorization, fluency, and communication practice. For example, How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow focuses on colors, friendship, feelings, and problem solving, while Sheep in a Jeep supports early literacy with rhyming, story questions, sorting, retell, and core word practice. These sets work well for special education classrooms, speech therapy, AAC learners, and small-group literacy instruction.
