How to Use This Adapted Book:

A teacher, SLP, or paraprofessional reads each riddle aloud while students listen for clues about an apple-themed object or apple part. Students then identify the object based on its attributes, features, and function, choosing the matching piece. Turn the page to reveal the answer!

After working through the book, students extend the activity by creating their own apple-themed riddles — a powerful expressive language opportunity!

Students working independently can read and complete the book at a literacy center or independent workstation once the format is familiar.

Ways to Use:

  • Back-to-school activities
  • Fall apple unit lessons
  • Small group speech therapy (inferencing, attributes, function — three SLP IEP goals in one resource!)
  • 1:1 instruction for targeted inferencing practice
  • Whole group apple/fall language lessons
  • Literacy centers and independent workstations
