Thanksgiving is around the corner! Family, food, and festivities make for a special time of year. Speech and language goals can be easily incorporated into the season with Thanksgiving books.
During reading, children can practice speech sounds, retell the story, sequence events, and answer comprehension questions. This is also a great opportunity to form personal connections and write out what makes them thankful.
Below are suggestions of books about Thanksgiving. Happy reading!
“Harvest Days: Giving Thanks Around the World,” by Kate DePalma
“In November,” by Cynthia Rylant
“I Am Thankful,” by Sheri Wall
“Turkey's Escape Plan,” by Julia Zheng
