Hi Reader!

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is one of my absolute favorite picture books. I love it so much that when I was pregnant I insisted my husband stop by Kohl's to grab a little stuffed Peter doll for our baby boy. It was his very first doll!

​
I love the pictures, the sequence of the story, the mystery of the missing snowball, and all of the great vocabulary I can teach my students as we read. This was actually the very first Communication and Comprehension set I made for my TPT store! This fabulous resource includes:

• Communication Supports
  • Vocabulary Cards: to teach and assess targeted vocabulary (can also be used to create interactive games!)
  • Vocabulary Progress Monitoring Sheet: for receptive and expressive identification of story vocabulary and generalization
  • Communication Board: to generate sentences about the story verbally or through velcro manipulatives
  • GoTalk 9+ AAC Board: formatted for use with GoTalk 9+
  • Sentence Building Progress Monitoring Sheet: for assessing sentence generation
  • Communication IEP Goal Ideas: for vocabulary and sentence building goals
• Comprehension Supports
  • Differentiated Wh-Question Assessments: 3 leveled assessments (multiple choice pictures, multiple choice words/phrases, fill-in) for answering who, what, where, when, and why questions about the story.
  • Fill-in-the-Blank Sentences Worksheet: Cut-and-paste cloze sentences with picture choice options
  • Sequencing Worksheet: Picture-based cut-and-paste sequencing of story events
  • Comprehension Goal Ideas: for wh-questions, writing, sequencing, and higher-order thinking
  • Higher-Order Thinking Progress Monitoring: for recalling story elements (characters, setting, and events) and answering inferential and evaluative questions about the story
  • Unit Report Card: Convenient data collection sheet for all unit activities to be used for grading and sharing with families

Looking for creative ways to implement the activities in this resource? Try making a game!

​

Feeling the winter blahs?! This stretch between New Years and Spring Break can be brutal! Especially if you don't get any snow days off. 🤞 Keep plugging along and show up every day for your students. It is ok for you to not be on your A game. And it is also ok if they need things slowed down a bit too. We are all just trying to get by! 😅

​

Until next time!
