Thanksgiving Adapted Book | Prepositions WH Questions | SLP SPED Autism Speech

Build prepositions, position words, and comprehension with this fun and silly Thanksgiving Adapted Book, "If It Were Thanksgiving"! The story follows all the silly places Turkey would hide if it were Thanksgiving Day — putting Turkey in all kinds of positions, making it the perfect way to practice prepositions. A hands-on way to target important speech and language IEP goals.

📖 Sample Text

If it were Thanksgiving, I'd run away and hide.

I'd find the nearest big, red barn and tuck away inside.

And if I didn't want to ever be found or be seen…

I'd find me two big pumpkins and I'd squish right in between.

If it were Thanksgiving and I had to get away…

I'd hide myself behind a large and prickly stack of hay.

Or maybe just escape beneath an empty cardboard box?

Or maybe put myself behind a giant stack of rocks?
