Back to School Books for Speech Therapy

Do you read Back to School themed books at the beginning of the school year? I love reading school-themed books the first few weeks of therapy! It gives us a great starting point for themes at the start of the year, but I also use this opportunity to screen my students on their comprehension and literacy skills, especially if they’re new to our groups! I compiled a list of my favorite Back to School books for speech therapy below. Affiliate links are included, but you can find many of these as read-alouds online!
