NEED A QUIET, LOW-PREP WAY TO KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED WITH THE STORY WHILE YOU TARGET SPEECH AND LANGUAGE?
These The Leaf Thief coloring pages give you simple, print-and-go visuals connected to important moments from the story so you can keep the book conversation going without adding another complicated activity to your planning.
Use them during the story, after reading, as a calm table activity, or as an open-ended visual while targeting your students' individual communication goals.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
This resource includes 10 printable student coloring pages:
1 "Help Squirrel Collect the Leaves" listening activity where students color a leaf each time they hear the word leaf
1 "Color Squirrel's Helpful Friends" listening activity
8 black-and-white story-scene coloring pages connected to events from the book
The story-scene pages are intentionally open-ended. There are not prewritten speech and language questions covering the page, which means you can pair the same visual with the goal your student actually needs.
Use the scenes to support things like:
Story retell and sequencing
Vocabulary
WH questions and comprehension
Describing
Inferencing
Character emotions and perspectives
Articulation or phonological practice while coloring
Conversation about the story
Literacy-based activities do not have to be complicated. Returning to familiar characters and events gives students a shared context for talking, remembering, describing, and making connections, while giving you the flexibility to adjust the communication target.
These pages are an easy addition to fall speech therapy, autumn speech and language sessions, The Leaf Thief book activities, literacy-based therapy, and low-prep speech therapy plans.
Please note: The book The Leaf Thief is not included. This is an independent educational companion.
