Halloween Adapted Books | Social Skills Manners Wh Questions | SLP Speech SPED

Review Halloween etiquette, social skills, and manners with this super-fun interactive Halloween adapted book! "The Monsters with No Manners" focuses on Halloween vocabulary, matching skills, Wh-questions, and the social skills around trick-or-treating — and includes a second how-to book that directly teaches (and sequences) the steps of trick-or-treating. A highly engaging, low-prep read-aloud that targets important language and social-emotional IEP goals.

📖 Sample Text

"There were monsters with no manners,

who were walking down the street.

They were hoping for some candy,

so they stopped to trick or treat.

"Mine!" yelled the monster.

"Eeewwww" whined the witch,

"Now," growled the werewolf

in a slow and rumbling pitch…"

👉 What happens when monsters have no manners? Halloween is no fun at all! Students learn how to trick-or-treat from our rude little monsters who need a lot of work on their social skills.
