Description
Bring a little monster fun into your speech and language sessions with this interactive adaptive book companion inspired by How to Catch a Monster! 👹💙💚 This simplified 13-page interactive story follows a boy who hears a mysterious noise coming from his closet and discovers a big, furry monster hiding inside! Determined to catch him, the boy builds a trap and uses a yummy treat as bait. But when his plan doesn’t quite work, he discovers that the monster may not be so scary after all—and might just need a friend. Each page includes short, student-friendly story text paired with a comprehension question and 4 picture-supported answer choices. The predictable format and visual supports make this deck great for students working on receptive and expressive language skills. Targets include: WH questions, story comprehension, emotions, inferencing, problem solving, actions, descriptive concepts, cause and effect, sequencing, and answering questions from a field of 4. Perfect for speech therapy, special education, small groups, individual sessions, and students who benefit from simplified language and visual supports. This resource is designed to be used alongside How to Catch a Monster and is not a replacement for the original book.
