Groundhog Day Adapted Book | WH Questions Sequencing | SLP SPED Autism Winter

Build Groundhog Day and winter vocabulary, story sequencing, and WH questions with this interactive Groundhog Day Adapted Book, "When Groundhog Got Hungry"! In this silly, cumulative story, Groundhog tries to get rid of winter by swallowing all his winter clothes — and his shadow, of course! Students follow along, answer WH questions, sequence the story, and "feed Groundhog" along the way. A fun, hands-on way to target important language and literacy IEP goals.

📖 Sample Text

"When Groundhog got hungry,

one cold Groundhog Day—

He swallowed a snowflake

and went on his way.

He swallowed some mittens

And swallowed a hat.

He swallowed a scarf

and some boots after that!

He swallowed a sweater

and big pile of snow.

He swallowed a snow cloud

and knew where to go!"

(You get the idea…)
