Halloween Adapted Books | Wh Questions Sequencing Vocabulary | SLP SPED Autism
Product Description
Build Wh-questions, story sequencing, and Halloween vocabulary with these two interactive Halloween adapted books — a fun seasonal spin on a classic tale plus a hands-on caramel-apple how-to. Highly engaging and low-prep, they keep students learning all season long while targeting important speech and language IEP goals.
📦 What's Included
Two complete interactive adapted books:
- "The Little Black Cat" — a Halloween adaptation of The Little Red Hen, with matching pieces for Halloween vocabulary and answer pieces for Wh-questions
- A caramel-apple how-to book — students match each step to its page, then sequence the whole process on the final page
- Visual recipe card included to extend the learning and make real caramel apples
📖 Sample Text — "The Little Black Cat"
Who will help the Little Black Cat plant the apple seeds, pick the apples, melt the caramels, and dip them?
"Not I," said Witch.
"Not I," said Ghost.
"Not I," said Frank.
"Not I," said Bones.
Then I guess she will have to do it herself!
