Description: Bring Where the Wild Things Are to life in your speech and language sessions with this complete book companion bundle! This resource combines an interactive adaptive Boom Cards™ story, AAC supports, differentiated language activities, and a simple hands-on craft for an engaging, flexible themed unit. The bundle includes an adaptive Boom Cards™ story deck with simplified language, visual answer choices, and comprehension opportunities, plus a story-specific AAC storyboard featuring core vocabulary, WH-words, colors, and fringe vocabulary such as Max, mischief, boat, Wild Thing, roar, dance, king, and home. You'll also receive multiple language activities that can be adapted across skill levels. Build a Wild Thing is a partner-based describing activity in which one student creates a creature and gives verbal clues while another student listens and attempts to recreate it—targeting attributes, spatial concepts, following and giving directions, listening comprehension, perspective taking, and comparing same/different. My Wild Thing Land provides two levels of expressive language practice. Students who benefit from visual supports can choose from pictured land types, skies, water features, living things, and other details, while more independent students can imagine their own land and use open-ended prompts to describe it. Finally, students can make their own Wild Thing paper bag craft using printable pieces and step-by-step visual directions with real photographs.
