How to Use:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads each page aloud while students use the clue objects to figure out where they need to go in the community to complete the task, then select the correct location piece. The repeating "Where do we go?" structure builds predictable language patterns that support students who benefit from routine and repetition. Independent learners can read and work through the book at a literacy center or workstation.
