Looking for a fun and interactive Valentine’s Day activity to teach the core word “want”? I Want a Valentine! is a Valentine-themed adaptive book designed for special education students, AAC users, and early language learners. This speech therapy resource gives students multiple opportunities to practice functional language, choice-making, and using the core word “want” in a meaningful way.
Each page uses a repetitive carrier phrase (“I see a ___”) with AAC symbols, Velcro squares, and visuals, making it perfect for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), special education teachers, and parents working on communication, language intervention, and early language skills.
Students will interact with five Valentine-themed items — teddy bear, bouquet of roses, card, chocolate, and red balloon — to practice saying “I want ___”. The wrap-up page encourages generalization of the skill, letting students say, “I want you to have a Happy Valentine’s Day!” and apply functional language in real-life contexts.
This AAC-friendly speech therapy book is ideal for special education classrooms, early intervention programs, and one-on-one therapy sessions.
