I have been using interactive books like these for years. My ASD team purchased a few of the Pyramid Educational Consultants books back when I started in the ASD realm. I can’t even find the books that I have for sale anywhere now. After we started using these, I realized that I wanted to make my own. This was way before I really knew how to create products, and I think I created it in Microsoft Word. For my friends who make products, you will understand that it took a LONG time to create this original product. I have a really hard time formatting anything in Word. It is just hard for me to get things to go where I want them to. Anyway, back to my original books. I made several winter themed books about what we do in winter vs. summer and also what do we wear in winter vs. summer. These books were a big hit, and I used them for years.
Fast forward to now…I have so many students who are struggling with sentence expansion, vocabulary, and answering simple questions. I wanted to update my books (they were looking a little old, tattered, and dated) for use with a variety of my students. The first two that I have made are: Winter Activities and Winter Clothes.
Both of these books have already been big hits with my students with ASD (and their teachers) as well as some of my students in Kindergarten and First Grade who are working on some different language skills such as answering questions and expanding utterance length.

a binding machine.

the back of each interactive piece.
Store these pieces on the last page.
