Fall Adapted Book: A teacher, SLP, or paraprofessional reads the book aloud while students follow along and match picture pieces to each page, identifying fall vocabulary as they go.

Big Flips Matching (3 Levels): Differentiate across your class or across sessions. Start at Level 1 and progress to Level 3 as students build skills.
