A literacy book called "Who Am I?" for non-verbal and minimally verbal autistic children. It has 15 pages with clue pairs that lead to characters like cowboys, kings, and community helpers. Kids match clues to figures using Velcro cutouts, building inference skills and vocabulary.
Um, and this is a product preview of my "Who Am I?" adapted book for children with autism. So this book is similar to the "Where Should I Go?" book, but just working on the "who" question. And I really like isolating each question in adapted books like this, 'cause it really gives kids a chance to coordinate the "who" question word with people, so that they're starting to understand how these questions can be answered. And this is a great way to incorporate your nonverbal students in reading and answering questions as well. So here are all the pieces, and you'll want to laminate these, cut them out, and put soft Velcro on the back and store them in a baggie. And here are the pages. You can either laminate these or put them in a top-loading sheet and then put hard Velcro in each box. So there's 15 different pages with 15 different pairs, all hinting at a which person it is. So it gives kind of a clue, and then who am I? So this is a great way to work on making inferences and vocabulary. Again, all things that are difficult to target with our less verbal students. So I didn't do all community helpers because that was the easy way to go. I did incorporate some different things like cowboy, king, leprechaun. So there's a lot of different versions of people, so it's not necessarily in one theme like baby, um, grandma. I'm an old woman, I have children, grandchildren, so that's a tricky one. There are some community helpers as well. So these are all the different pages and the different inferences that your kids will work on making with this book. Book. Um, so I really like this one. This is really a hard skill to target with our lower kids, and this is a great way to do so. And adapted books seem to be very non-threatening for our kids. They're used to them. It's in a similar format. Um, so this is a great way to work on those types of skills. Um, this is a product preview of Who Am I? by theautismhelper.com.
