Ready, Set, Christmas

My supervisor developed a series of “Ready, Set…” books for bunch of different holidays. I have started using her ideas to put together my own set. With a lot of help from my very talented cousin, I put together “Ready, Set, Christmas.” My cousin Rebecca did a wonderful job on all the graphics (I also snagged just a few from the mycutegraphics website too).
The book requires a little assembling. I laminate all the pages to keep everything from ripping. Cut out all the graphic squares on the icon pages and attach them to the template page (the page of empty boxes). Sticky back Velcro works perfect! I attached some photos to show how I arrange the book pages.
It has been a fun way to target various vocabulary as well as expressive and receptive language. The repetitive sentences support formulating complete sentences and sentence structure. You can also work on expressive language by matching up the correct pictures to the correct requests. If a field of 8 choices is too many, just reduce the amount of icons on a page.
At the very end, you can put your kiddo’s selections into their very own story. I have been making copies so they can take it home and share with their family.
