Doing anything in a theme immediately makes it more fun! And using themed picture books to go over speech and language goals with your students is no exception. We’ve shared a lot of these types of episodes with you in the past because we love putting together lists of our favorite books to use with different themes. With the weather becoming nicer and kids spending more time outside and exploring nature, we knew this theme was perfect. So in today’s episode, we’re sharing our favorite bug-themed picture books to use in speech therapy.
