Interactive books for children utilize the power of visual strategies so beginning readers can learn to associate pictures with words. Students move and attach picture cards with velcro fasteners to match, identify, label, sequence and create sentences while learning to read! These kids’ interactive books are fun and rewarding for children with and without special needs.

Thing I Do at Home uses the vocabulary and activities that might make-up a typical day at home as a basis for the reading activities. It also contains 4 picture pages and 12 sentence pages where students work on matching, identifying, and labeling pictures. Upon completion of those activities students then use the pictures as a visual aid to complete simple sentences. Students then read the sentences with and without the pictures as they become better readers, finally mixing -up the sentence order to make sure they are really reading and not just memorizing the sentence order. Pictures can also be used to answer simple functional questions. (ex: Where do you go when you are tired? Answer: To bed!)
