This Back To School Adapted Book: Unicorns At School is a fun and interactive book that reviews colors, color words, numbers, number words and basic counting through a silly back to school story. It is perfect to use during the beginning of the school year, as a small group or circle time activity or in a literacy or library center all year long for all of your little unicorn lovers!

This adapted book specifically focuses on the numbers 1-5 and identifying colors.

In this activity, the teacher or therapist reads the story to a small group of students as students follow along, and place the correct number of unicorns on each page. They must also answer the questions: "How Many Unicorns?" and "What Color?" and place the correct number and color (or number word and color word, depending on their level on each page.

Sample Text:

"On the first day of school, I walked through the door,

And one little unicorn pranced on the floor.

(Turn Page)

Oh Wow! That was so cool! I saw one, one purple unicorn at school!

(Turn Page)

I walked to the classroom and looked for my chair,

And two little unicorns were prancing right there.

(Turn Page)

Oh Wow! That was so cool! I saw, two yellow unicorns at school!

This book also includes two levels of matching for differentiation.

Students working at an independent level can work through the book at a literacy center or workstation.
