5 Tips for Making Books Playful
Aug 06, 2024Books are such a powerful tool for speech therapy and provide SO many opportunities for speech and language skills to be taught, practiced and developed. If you have been following us for awhile now, you know that we love using books in our speech therapy sessions! Here are some easy ways to take your own books and make them more interactive and playful with your caseload!
1. Use Interactive Books
Books with textures, pictures, accompanying pieces, or flaps.
2. Pair Books with Toys
Toys provide an awesome way to role play the story during or after reading the story. They are great for story retell and keeping busy hands engaged while reading the story.
3. Use Sound Books
Use books with silly sounds, silly names, or silly sound effects!
4. Use Different Voices
Different voices and volumes grab the child's interest and increases engagement as you read the story together.
5. YOU are Key
Remember - Your excitement will increase engagement! YOU are what makes something playful!
