Turn your Apple Trouble read aloud into a hands-on speech and language therapy activity!
This Apple Trouble craft companion combines a fun fall hedgehog craft with built-in articulation, language, story retell, sequencing, and literacy-based speech therapy practice. Students build Hedgehog and add the story objects to her back in the order they appear in the book, creating a visual representation of the story they can use for speech and language practice.
With both a construction paper craft AND a printable coloring craft option, you can choose the version that works best for your group, your prep time, and your students.

Built-In Articulation Practice
No need to create separate articulation targets for your students! This resource includes Apple Trouble word choices for 18 speech sounds, allowing students to practice their individualized speech sound while completing the same book companion activity as the rest of the group.

Built-In Language Therapy Targets

Students can practice a speech target or answer a language prompt before gluing each piece onto Hedgehog, making it easy to get repeated practice throughout the activity.

Two Craft Options for Different Prep Levels
