From what you wear in winter to winter sports, this set of 5 colorful interactive books with moving pieces is designed to get students involved in reading as well as learning about winter and activities they might do in the winter months. Students stay engaged in reading by matching the words and/or the pictures to the pages. Students of all ages love them because they can participate in reading.   Imagine your classroom story time or whole group activity in which all the students are engaged in the story you are reading. 

Who Are They For?

These books are great for students of any age working on basic vocabulary and either matching or reading skills.  They are perfect for morning meeting or circle time, story time, and small group or 1-1 instruction on reading skills.  They are written at approximately a first to second grade level and include matching pictures and words to complete the sentences based on the pictures on the page.  I've used them all ages from preschool through life skills high school classes.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

5 Interactive Books 

1. Winter Clothes in Different Climates

• This illustrated book focuses on cold and warm climates during winter by talking about clothing of 2 children and comparing and contrasting the clothes they wear (e.g., Dustin wears a coat. Sarah wears a t-shirt.). At the end of the book, there is a choice board with visuals that the students can use to answer if they live in a warm or cold climate.
• Winter Sports

• This illustrated book focuses on the sports that take place primarily in winter indoors and outdoors.
• Dressing for Cold Weather

• This illustrated book concentrates on the clothes we wear when the weather is cold by helping Sam get dressed.
• Let’s Make Hot Chocolate

• This illustrated book focuses on the process of making instant hot chocolate. It includes a mix of nouns and verbs and includes visuals to support a yes/no question at the end for whether the students like hot chocolate.
• Things We Do in Winter

• This illustrated book targets verbs and depicts common activities that people do in the winter (mostly in snow).

Features

• The books have the option to find the matching or corresponding picture or the word to complete the sentence.
• The picture cards can be stored on an extension page that have matching pictures. There are 2 options—one has matching pictures and the other is a blank page with no pictures so you can rearrange them.
• You could also switch out so that the student is matching clip art to photos or vice versa by switching which matching pictures are with the book.
