Thanksgiving Adapted Book | Inferencing Core Words Real Photos | SLP SPED Autism

Your students will love the mystery! In this Thanksgiving Peek and Seek Book, students take a "peek" through the peep hole, make an inference about what they see, then turn the page to reveal the full real photo. Along the way, they build Thanksgiving vocabulary, inferencing, and the core words "what," "you," "I," and "see" — with plenty of repetition. The real photos are perfect for students who benefit from realistic pictures, and it works beautifully all season long.

📦 What's Included

• A peep hole on each "peek" page for students to guess the mystery picture
• Repetition of the core words "what," "you," "I," and "see"
• Print, laminate, cut the peep holes, and assemble for years of reuse
