Pets Adapted Book | Inferencing & Core Words | Real Photos SLP SPED Autism

Build inferencing, core word vocabulary, and pet vocabulary with this adapted, interactive Pets Peek and Seek Book featuring real photos! Students listen to a clue, peek through the hole to see just a small part of the hidden photo, make their best guess about the pet — then turn the page for the big reveal. A fun, hands-on way to target important speech and language IEP goals.

Students get lots of repetition with the core words "what," "you," "I," and "see," and the real photos support students who benefit from realistic images.

📖 Sample Pages

Look! Seek! Take a peek! What do you see at the pet store?

👉 (Students peek through the peep hole and make an inference from the part of the photo they can see.)

(Turn the page for the reveal:)

A bunny! They are fuzzy, small, and cute. Yes, it's true. I see a bunny. Yes I do!

Look! Seek! Take a peek! What do you see at the pet store?
