This or That: Leaf Man and The Leaf Thief – Episode 17

When you finally choose a theme of books to use in your literacy-based speech therapy sessions, it can be difficult to narrow it down to the book that covers all learning concepts for your students. Since the process of picking a book can take some time, we’ve decided to do the work for you! With fall just around the corner, we’re doing another round of our this or that episode with the theme of leaves with the books Leaf Man and The Leaf Thief.  

In our this or that episodes, we like to talk through our process for selecting books to use in our speech therapy sessions. We dive into all the different aspects of the books and ultimately make our decision on which book we’d focus on with our students. Leaf Man and The Leaf Thief each highlight major learning concepts, but one ultimately is the complete package that includes a complete episode. Find out which book is best to use with students in our this or that leaf themed episode!

Topics Discussed:

• Why not to choose books based on popularity, but the quality of the content
• A description of what each book offers you to use with students
• How one of the books can be used as a supplemental text connected to an art project
• Our challenge to you regarding why you’ve chosen the books you use
• Preview of next week’s deep dive episode
