Fall Scarecrow Adapted Book | Prepositions Positional Words | SLP SPED Autism

Prepositions can be tricky — this fall adapted book makes them playful, hands-on, and easy to practice! In "Where Is Scarecrow Hiding?" students find the scarecrow hiding in, on, under, over, and behind colorful fall leaves, matching a preposition (positional word) card to each page as you read. Along the way, they reinforce colors and color words, too. It's a favorite for speech therapy, special education, and fall literacy centers.

Read the story aloud while your students identify the scarecrow's position in relation to the colored leaf on each page. Students match a position/preposition card to each page — and those working independently can move through the whole book in a literacy center or independent workstation.

📖 Sample Verse:

"Where is Scarecrow hiding?

Where can he be?

He's ______ (over) the orange leaf,

As we can plainly see!"
