Description
Bring Where the Wild Things Are into your speech and language sessions with this interactive adaptive story Boom Cards™ deck! This deck provides a simplified, visually supported retelling of the story, making it accessible for students who benefit from reduced language, picture supports, and opportunities to demonstrate comprehension as they read. Students follow Max on his adventure while answering four-choice comprehension questions paired with clear visual answer choices. Targets are naturally embedded throughout the story and include WH-questions, action words, vocabulary, story comprehension, identifying key details, and basic concepts. This resource is great for speech therapy, special education, AAC users, autistic students, early language learners, and students who benefit from adapted literacy materials. Use it during individual therapy, small groups, classroom activities, or as a companion to reading Where the Wild Things Are. Targets include: receptive and expressive language, WH-questions, vocabulary, verbs/actions, story sequencing and comprehension, answering questions from a field of four, and adapted literacy skills. This resource is designed as a companion activity and does not replace the original book.
