Description: This is a printable PDF resource designed for print-and-assemble use. This is not a clickable Boom card deck. Help the dog find his missing ball in this interactive printable speech and language book! Students follow along as the dog searches in the snow, discovering familiar objects along the way. Each search cycle builds repetition while targeting core vocabulary, WH questions, and early sentence development. On each “What did the dog find?” page, the object can be covered with a removable snow piece using Velcro for an interactive reveal — or used without the snow for a simplified version. This printable resource includes: • Repetitive story structure • WH question practice (“What did the dog find?”) • Core vocabulary (LOOK, NOT, HELP, FIND) • Negation practice (“Not the ball.”) • Optional sentence strip pages • Flexible Velcro snow reveal Students search for common objects (car, shoe, duck, banana, book) before finally finding the ball! Perfect for preschool speech therapy, early language learners, AAC modeling, small groups, and in-person therapy sessions. This is the PRINTABLE PDF version. A digital Boom deck version is available separately and in the bundle.
