Spring Adapted Book | Prepositions Positional Words Colors | SLP SPED Autism

This Spring Adapted Book, "Where Is Buzzy Hiding?," teaches prepositions and positional words while reinforcing color identification and color words. Students identify where Buzzy the bee is hiding in relation to each colored flower and match a preposition card to complete the sentence — turning a fun spring story into targeted practice on prepositions, position words and colors.

🐝 Perfect for:

• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting prepositions, positional concepts, and color vocabulary goals
• Special Education teachers building spring and positional concept units
• Autism classrooms working on positional concepts and following directions
• Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills (Velcro manipulation) and spatial awareness
• ABA therapists running discrete trial preposition programs
• Early Childhood, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade teachers
• ELL/ESL teachers building English positional and color vocabulary
• Homeschool families with young learners

🌷 What's Included:

• Preposition / positional word matching cards

Sample Verse:

"Where is Buzzy hiding?

Where can he be?

He's _______ (on top of) the yellow flower,

As we can plainly see!"

How to Use:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads each rhyme while students identify where Buzzy is hiding and select the correct preposition card to complete the sentence. The colored flowers on every page reinforce color identification simultaneously — two IEP goals in one activity. Independent learners can read and work through the book at a literacy center or workstation.
