Product Description

This set of two Halloween Sequencing Adapted BooksSweeney Gets A Costume and Sammy Gets A Costume — gives students hands-on practice with story sequencing, story retell, and Halloween vocabulary in a fun, interactive format. Students match pieces to each page as the teacher reads, then sequence the costumes in the order they were tried — building one of the highest-priority year-round SLP IEP goals (sequencing) inside an engaging Halloween story.

🎃 Perfect for:

  • Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting story sequencing, story retell, vocabulary, and listening comprehension goals
  • Special Education teachers building Halloween and October thematic units
  • Autism classrooms working on story comprehension and sequencing
  • Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills (Velcro manipulation)
  • ABA therapists running discrete trial sequencing and story retell programs
  • Early Childhood, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade teachers
  • ELL/ESL teachers building English story structure and sequential language
  • Homeschool families with young learners

🐱 What's Included — 2 Halloween Adapted Books:

  • Sweeney Gets A Costume — a sweet cat story about finding the perfect Halloween costume
  • Sammy Gets A Costume — a companion adapted book with similar sequencing structure
  • Interactive matching pieces for every page
  • Story sequencing activity at the end of each book (students arrange costumes in order)

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Story sequencing, story retell, listening comprehension, Halloween and costume vocabulary, character identification, pet vocabulary, descriptive attributes (too smelly, too fuzzy), problem-solving language ("first, next, then"), sequential language, expressive and receptive language, following directions, and fine motor skills (Velcro manipulation).

Sample Text:

"Sweeney was the sweetest cat.

He was purrrfect at purring,

superb at snuggling,

and fantastic at being a furry friend.

On Halloween, Joe wanted to find him the perfect costume.

First he bought him a flower costume.

But it was too smelly. So he took it back.

Next he bought him a bunny costume.

But it was too fuzzy. So he took it back…"

How to Use:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads each story aloud while students match a piece to each page. At the end of each book, students sequence the costumes in the order they were tried — turning a single read-aloud into a complete sequencing IEP goal lesson with built-in story retell practice.

🦇 Ways to Use:

  • Halloween and October thematic units
  • Speech therapy sequencing and story retell sessions
  • Sequencing IEP goal data collection
  • Story retell IEP goal data collection
  • Independent work systems (TEACCH)
  • ABA discrete trial sequencing training
