    5 Favorite Children’s Thanksgiving books for Speech Therapy

    1. I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie 
      Repetitive in nature, there are great words for repetitive practice including “pie” and “cider.”  (Tip: I change the “perhaps she’ll die” part to “I don’t know why.”)

    2. 10 Fat Turkeys by Tony Johnston
    Kids love this book about ten silly turkeys who do tricks and take turns falling off the fence.
    They love repeating the phrase “gobble gobble, wibble wobble!” and you will too!

    Activities:

    3. Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano
    Turkey is worried about being Thanksgiving Dinner for Farmer Jake!  Kids laugh at turkey’s
    creative costumes and clever idea to ultimately avoid being eaten, in this funny, and repetitive
    book.

    4. Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson
    In this heart warming book, Bear decides to throw a feast but his cupboards are bare!  As his
    friends stop by with dishes of food, “Bear Says, Thanks.”

    5. There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey, by Lucille Colandro
    Kids love the crazy Old Lady who his back and eating all kinds of crazy things!  I love to work
    on prosody with her books as well as speech.

  • I Know an Old Lady Book Who Swallowed a Pie Book Companion Pack.

    I Know an Old Lady Book Who Swallowed a Pie Book Companion Pack.

    Two years ago, I wrote a post entitled November book of the month.  At that time Ashlynn was just starting to imitate really well, and I used this repetitive book with her to have her work on the CV shape “pie.”

    Fast forward two years and here we are.  Ashlynn can now say most of the Thanksgiving items in this book, she just has a hard time with word recall and has expressive language needs now at thistime.

    I created this companion pack for her, but for also my kiddoswith a variety of speech/language needs.  The first part contains all the pictures in the story with a sequencing board for the kids to sequence their pictures.

    The next part has a following directions activity incorporating a variety of spatial concepts with the vocabulary (i.e. “put the squash between the lady and the table).”

    Part three contains a 9 page mini book with the pictures for the kids to practice a sentence, “She ate a …”

    The last page contains an enlarged version of the old lady’s head with her mouth open, that you can cut out and glue to a manilla envelope and cut out the mouth.  You can then have the kids “feed” the old lady all the vocabulary items using whatever speech or language target you choose!
