Christmas Adapted Book | "Where Is the Sleigh?" | Wh Questions, Position Words & Sequencing
Make Christmas speech therapy and special education lessons fun and engaging with this interactive Christmas-themed adapted book that teaches "Where" questions, position words, Christmas vocabulary, matching skills, story sequencing, and basic comprehension! In "Where Is the Sleigh?", students follow along as Santa's elves search for the missing sleigh — using position words (beside, behind, under, in front of) as they look in different places at the North Pole.
Perfect for speech therapy, special education, autism classrooms, AAC users, and emerging communicators, this engaging adapted book builds receptive and expressive language, position concept vocabulary, and Wh-question comprehension through repetitive predictable text and hands-on matching pieces. BONUS: includes a sequencing stick activity for story retelling practice!
