Gingerbread Man Adapted Book | Sequencing WH Questions Vocabulary | SLP SPED
Product Description
Build story sequencing, WH questions, and vocabulary with this interactive Gingerbread Man Adapted Book, "When Ginger Got Hungry"! This silly fractured fairy tale flips the classic — this time, Ginger is the one doing the eating! Students follow along, answer WH questions, sequence the story, and "feed Ginger" the characters — a fun, hands-on way to target language and literacy IEP goals (and a perfect compare-and-contrast companion to the classic Gingerbread Man).
📖 Sample Text
"When Ginger got hungry, one bright, sunny day. He swallowed a lady and went on his way. He swallowed a man and he swallowed a pig. He swallowed a pig that was bigger than BIG. He swallowed a cow and he swallowed a horse. A cow and a horse are a mouthful, of course…"
(You get the idea…)
