Get Ready for Thanksgiving- Visuals Work!
An E-Book
Mr. Turkey, where are you?
by Lorrie Ann Harrington
Check out this new Thanksgiving story app which is now available FREE ! It was designed to teach new thanksgiving vocabulary, language based concepts, and social communication skills.
This book can be read together with your child focusing on 'Where' or a more difficult question Are you? It has a few predictable patterns which will help your child 'read' with you. The story can be used to teach beginning narrative or story skills. It has a clear beginning with character introductions, a clear middle with a problem- looking for Mr. Turkey, and a clear ending with celebrating Thanksgiving. The graphics are very cute and fit with a wide range of ages but if you wanted to you can customize the story with your own pictures. For some children or adults, you can use this app to 'create or direct' your own book by taking pictures to insert. By modelling, interacting, and focusing on specific language concepts, this app offers many learning opportunities and a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!
