Snowman Adapted Book And Activities: "Snowman Stands Still"

Build the core word "why," winter and snowman vocabulary, comprehension, and story sequencing with this interactive Snowman Adapted Book and Activities, "Snowman Stands Still." As the teacher or therapist reads, students match a thematic picture and/or vocabulary word to each page, then answer WH questions — targeting important speech and language IEP goals all winter long.

📖 Sample Text

Why does Snowman stand so still? He sees the hats across the hill, and charcoal eyes, and carrot noses — with sticks for arms in frozen poses.

Why does Snowman stand so tall? He watches as the snowflakes fall — in white snow mounds where children play. He loves a frosty, winter day!
