These 25 interactive/adapted books are designed to help your students become more comfortable readers and more fluent speakers. This is a digital download - print and prep these yourself!
The sentences on the bottom all follow the same format of I (verb) ___(insert name of picture).
Using carrier phrases like these help students get used to speaking in longer sentences and once you have them speaking in sentences while reading, you can encourage that even more in everyday activities!
The 11 different sentence starters and topics include:
I like (party, technology, beach*)
I go (my community, my school, house*)
I want (sensory, colors, toys*)
I need (art supplies, school supplies)
I feel (feelings - 2 books)
I see (nature, zoo animals, weather*)
I play (sports, games)
I hear (farm animals, music)
I eat (fruit and veggies, food)
I wear (clothing - 2 books*)
(2 books with multiple levels are included for each phrase!)
FREEBIE: I use (cooking items)
*Extra 6 books added in 2023 include:
I wear (clothing - 2 books)
I like (beach)
I go (house)
I want (toys)
I see (weather)
Each page has an optional top text to read (for more advanced readers) and a simple bottom sentence for everyone to read.
I love that you only have to print one book and it is appropriate for a range of different levels in your class. See how below:
