Halloween is such an exciting time. I love the fall season and getting in the holiday spirit in my speech room. If you follow this blog, you've seen some of my Articulation Road Maps and Sound Bookmarks – I hope you like these narrative suggestions too.
I was recently digging through my Halloween books pulling out some vocabulary and I thought I'd share them in a bookmark with you! They are quick language targets to use with various grade levels – a little something for everyone. I love literacy-based speech! More than a fun read aloud, we MUST be intentional with our book choices. Get all the Halloween books in therapy I use on Amazon (affiliate links included in this post.)
My hands down favorite is Room On The Broom by Julia Donaldson. Why do I love it? What do I use it to target?
-Vocabulary
-Rhyming
-Sequencing
-Inferencing
-Social (teamwork)
-Grammar (irregular past tense verbs)
I discoveredย Bone Soup by Cambria Evans last year.
Why do I love it? What do I target in Speech?
-Vocabulary (AH-MAZING vocabulary!)
-Inferencing
-Grammar
-Story Recall
-Writing Prompts
*you could also do a fun snack…make your own “soup”
Bring in and make a “mix” to share.
I also love Hallo-Wiener by Dave Pilkey. Such a sweet message!ย This is the perfect book to work on inferencing! What else do I work on?
-Vocabulary
-Social/Emotional
-Story Recall
My last book is Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. Why do I love it? How do I use it?
-Sequencing!
-Inferencing
-Social Emotional
-Story Recall
-Plot
I made these bookmarks to tape on the inside of the front cover of each of these – perfect for last minute therapy planning! They list all the vocabulary words to target and more.

These books look great and I love your organizing goal targets on a bookmark that can easily be kept with each book. I'm going to use this idea for other books I use! Thanks so much!
This is an awesome freebie! Thanks so much! You surely touched on EVERYTHING we do with our books! ๐
Thanks again! Happy Haunting
Ohh, those books are so cute! I can remember how I was reading The Bone Soup to my nephews and they really liked it. I think for this Halloween I will pick another book fro your list. That's how I can be sure the book will be really great. i'm sure the kids will appreciate this present, just like they did the last year.
Hi Ashley! I would love to use the free language bookmarks! Unfortunately, I do not see an option on here to download.
Looks great Ashley, but you cannot download??
