Adapted books of Rainforest Animals for Special Education
By Until the Pieces Fit
Interactive Adaptive Books, themed around rainforest animals. These books are designed to cater to diverse learning needs while immersing readers in the wonders of the rainforest ecosystem. Featuring a collection of your favorite rainforest animals - the sloth, butterfly, hummingbird, parrot, jaguar, tree frog, tapir, and capybara - each book promises a rich and engaging learning experience.
Tiered Supports for Every Learner: Our Interactive Adaptive Books are thoughtfully crafted to accommodate learners of all levels. Each book is structured with tiered supports, ensuring that every reader, from beginners to more advanced learners, can find their perfect level of engagement. This approach fosters inclusivity and provides an opportunity for learners to progress at their own pace.
Book 1 - Exploring the Rainforest Animals: This book is not adaptive however as you turn the pages, you'll discover captivating details about the animals that call the rainforest home. With each page, young readers will expand their knowledge and appreciation for these incredible creatures.
Book 2 - Interactive Comprehension: This book contains 8 icons, colorful pages with simple sentences including animals and their action. Example: I see a tapir rooting for food.
Book 3 - Visual Support & Statements: In this version, the focus is on visual learning and language development. The book contains a selection of 8 color icons representing the rainforest animals. The low-ink design ensures easy and economical printing. Every page features both a visually appealing icon and an "I see" statement, encouraging readers to connect the visuals with the corresponding animals. This book is an ideal resource for fostering early language skills while immersing children in the beauty of the rainforest.
Book 4 - Developing Independence: This book contains 8 color icons which students will match to the "I see" statement on each page. No visual supports are provided for this book which is an excellent way to determine if students recognize the animals without extra support. I have used low ink for quick and easy printing.
While these books require a bit of preparation – from printing to velcro attachment and binding – the effort is well worth it. Once assembled, these versatile resources can be used year after year, making learning about rainforest animals a timeless adventure. For inquiries or further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out at untilthepiecesfit2@gmail.com.
