This book provides many opportunities to elicit sounds, words, and word combinations. It also offers the perfect context to introduce new spring themed vocabulary!
I created a book companion for Baby Loves Spring that has several handouts and activities so you can further expose your child to the vocabulary in this book. These are interactive, hands-on but SIMPLE activities.
Here’s what’s included:
• Lists of sounds, single words, and early word combinations to target during reading, repeated readings, and doing the included activities in this packet!
Colorful picture cards of some of the vocabulary words included in the book
Large puzzle cards that you and your child can put together while saying the words
• Say, Color, and Display Coloring sheets
• These coloring sheets contain pictures of the target words for your child, student, or client to color. They are unique because the first sound in the pictured word features a mouth forming the first sound in the word. This visual can help your child see how to make the first sound in the word. Coloring these pictures is a wonderful way to intentionally target these word
