How to Use:

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads the rhyming story while students match the correct emotion piece to each page. Use Level 1 (pictures only) for early learners or students who need visual support. Use Level 2 (words) for students working on sight word recognition or older students building expressive vocabulary. Send home the black-and-white student copy for students to color, cut, and assemble — a take-home keepsake that reinforces emotions vocabulary in a personalized way.
