The Everything Book/Ready, Set, 4th of July


Allison and I  thought about renaming the products in our Ready Set series The Everything Book(s).  Seems like speech-language pathologists by their nature are a very creative group. Many of our colleagues have shared new and varied ways to use the books.  Today an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) therapist said that she loves using Ready, Set, Me! with her children who are using devices.  First they make their choice using the book then find their answer on their device. Another colleague mentioned that she uses the pictures for categorization.

Jaclyn, my co-worker in Pueblo, said her child uses the story generated at the end of the manipulative version to communicate with his grandparents in Oregon on Face Time. The story is based on his choices, giving him the structure and visual support to share personal information.  I think it would be a great tool in a social skills group.  Each child could share the his/her choice then peers could ask questions to find out more details.

Check out the series on Teachers Pay Teachers.  So far we have 2 free books, 3 of the 4 seasons and 6 holidays. Here is our latest product:
