Product Description
Ice Cream Adapted Book "I See" Eating Ice Cream | Real Photos for Inferencing, Identifying by Attribute & Function
Build essential inferencing skills, attribute recognition, and language reasoning with this engaging ice cream-themed adapted book featuring REAL PHOTOS throughout! "I See Eating Ice Cream" uses a fun riddle format to teach students to identify ice cream-themed objects by their attributes (crunchy, cold, sweet) and function (holds the ice cream, scoops the ice cream) — building critical language reasoning skills through engaging predictable text.
Perfect for speech therapy (inferencing, attributes, and function IEP goals!), special education, autism classrooms, AAC users, and emerging communicators, this adapted book uses real photo visual supports — ideal for students who benefit from authentic imagery rather than cartoons.
★ Perfect for: Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Special Education Teachers, Autism Classrooms, Self-Contained Classrooms, Resource Rooms, Life Skills Classes, Paraprofessionals, ABA Therapists, Early Childhood, PreK, Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade
