Penguin Adapted Book | When Penguin Got Hungry | Sequencing WH Questions | SLP

Build winter vocabulary, story sequencing, and WH questions with this interactive Penguin Adapted Book, "When Penguin Got Hungry"! This silly, cumulative story has a very hungry penguin swallowing everything in sight — and students follow along, answer WH questions, sequence the story, and "feed Penguin" along the way. A fun, hands-on way to target important language and literacy IEP goals all winter long.

📖 Sample Text

"When Penguin got hungry,

and winter was bare—

He swallowed a sled,

just because it was there!

He swallowed some skates,

And he swallowed some ice.

He swallowed some skis

(And that wasn't so nice—BURP.)"

(You get the idea…)
