Deep Dive: Bone Soup – Episode 24

If you’ve been searching for a book that serves older students in upper elementary or even middle school, this book is what you need! Bone Soup by Cambria Evans is a fantastic book to use during this Halloween season while also hitting on key concepts and speech and language goals for your students. In this episode, we’re doing a deep dive into Bone Soup and sharing all the reasons why we love this book and how we’d use it in our literacy-based speech therapy sessions. 

During our deep dives we take you behind the scenes of our dissection of books and what key ideas we can use with the book. Our deep dive into Bone Soup is different from some other picture books because of the complexity of vocabulary, concepts, and the impact it has on older students.
