Adaptive Books with a theme of winter cover fun topics, such as colors, activities, and clothing. These books require some prep work; however, once made, you can use them year after year!  

These adaptive books are created with various students in mind, as our classrooms can be diverse! I have also found even my most reluctant readers are more eager to participate in learning activities when I pull out interactive activities such as these books. While the books have eight icons to use as choices, you can adapt by providing less when reading and asking follow-up questions. 

Book 1: Wintertime Fun

Students will listen to a short story using repetitive text paired with actions. The sentence will read, "In the winter, I like to...". After reading the sentences, have students select the correct action: sledding, ice hockey, snow angels, snowboarding, riding a ski lift, snowy nights, ice skating & building a snowman. 

Book 2: Colorful Winter

Students will listen to a story with repetitive text ("I see a") and identify the item. The items are focused on winter items. An excellent book for practicing color recognition. 

Book 3: Clothing we wear

I have provided two levels with a focus on the clothing we wear. The first level is supported with a corresponding picture so students can match the items. The second level is only words. 

Book 4: Snow Day

This short story concerns the school being called off due to too much snow. There are ten interactive pages in this book.
