In a rainbow-colored station wagon that smelled like a real car, the relatives came. When they arrived, they hugged and hugged from the kitchen to the front room. All summer they tended the garden and ate up all the strawberries and melons. They plucked banjos and strummed guitars.
When they finally had to leave, they were sad, but not for long. They all knew they would be together next summer.
This sweet summer book can be used in speech therapy to address social/emotional issues like missing family, road trips and helping others. It is also great for inferencing, describing with adjectives and a variety of verbs, and targeting /r/, /l/, /t/, /v/, /er/, /j/ and /y/ sounds!
