Do you have any “First Look and Find” books on your bookshelf? We do! I love the squishy cover, size and strength of the pages, and the endless communication opportunities!
Here are my favorite ways to target speech and language skills with the First Look and Find books:
VOCABULARY: Take turns trying to find items with your child. You can name items that your child points to or ask them to find and point to the item you name. See if you can find the same items in your house to carryover the vocabulary to different item types!
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS: support listening skills by having them follow a variety of directions. “First point to the frog then point to the princess” “point to the biggest striped animal” “point to the shoe next to the monkey”
SENTENCE FORMATION: Take turns talking about what all the characters are doing. You can work on pronouns + is/are + ing verbs to expand your child’s sentences!
INFERENCING: see if your child can guess the object you “spy” by giving them certain clues! “I spy something in the food category, it’s cold, and you eat it on a cone!”
How else do you use First Look and Find books with your child?
