This set of books and tasks cards has everything you need to work on life skills vocabulary and reading comprehension simultaneously. Using a theme of identifying items and actions of taking care of a home, the set includes interactive books and task cards to help you build students' comprehension from answering questions directly stated in the text to inferring content based on pronouns. And they provide great practice in answering 'wh' questions as well.
Who Are They For?
The books are written at approximately the first to second grade reading level. They are designed for middle and high school students in special education who need to practice reading and reading comprehension while learning about common adult activities. However, they could be used with younger students if the topics are appealing.
Features
- Each book includes visuals for students to have and insert into the books as they are read.
- All the pictures in the books are photographs.
- Books are written at the 1st to 2nd grade reading level.
- The books have the option to find the matching or corresponding picture or the word to complete the sentence.
