Halloween Adapted Book | Prepositions Wh Questions Sequencing | SLP SPED Autism
Product Description
This Halloween Adapted Book, "Where Is the Cat?," is a silly, rhyming, interactive story that targets lots of language goals — prepositions and positional words, Wh- Questions, basic comprehension, vocabulary, and sequencing story events. The repetitive rhyming text supports beginning readers, and the bonus sequencing stick activity extends the lesson into story retell practice.
🎃 Perfect for:
- Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting prepositions, Wh- Questions, sequencing, and listening comprehension goals
- Special Education teachers building Halloween and October thematic units
- Autism classrooms working on positional concepts and comprehension
- Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills (Velcro manipulation)
- ABA therapists running discrete trial preposition and Wh- Question programs
- Early Childhood, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade teachers
- ELL/ESL teachers building English positional vocabulary
- Homeschool families with young learners
👻 What's Included:
- 1 Adapted Interactive Book — Where Is the Cat?
- Interactive matching pieces for every page
- Basic comprehension question cards (Wh- Questions)
- BONUS: Sequencing Stick Activity — students sequence story events on a paint stirrer
🎯 Skills Targeted:
Prepositions and positional concepts (beside, above, under, in front of, behind, between, etc.), Wh- Questions, basic listening comprehension, story sequencing and retell, Halloween vocabulary (witch, cat, cauldron, jack-o'-lantern, ghost, Frankenstein, and more), receptive and expressive language, picture-to-page matching, rhyme and predictable text for emergent readers, and fine motor skills.
Sample Text:
"Where is the cat?
Where did she go?
Witchy tried to find her, but she really didn't know!
She looked beside the cauldron and she said, 'Imagine that???!'
She found a jack-o'-lantern, but she didn't find the cat!
Where is the cat?
Where did she go?
Frankie tried to find her, but he really didn't know!
He looked above the cauldron and he said, 'Imagine that???!'
He found a silly ghost, but he didn't find the cat!"
How to Use:
In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads each rhyming page while students match a picture piece to each preposition. At the end of the story, students answer basic comprehension questions by selecting the correct answer piece. Then extend the lesson with the bonus sequencing stick activity — students sequence the story events on a paint stirrer to practice story retell. Independent learners can work through the book at a literacy center or workstation.
