How this animal camouflage adapted book can be used in your early childhood special education classroom:

❤️ Read in whole group, giving children a piece to match

❤️ Read in a teacher-led small group, using velcro on a folder or tablet to offer students choices of which picture to match

❤️ Place in an independent workstation for students to look at and match pictures

❤️ Use in therapy to encourage language relating to the story

❤️ Ready for a game of hide-and-seek with your class? Test out their camouflage skills in the great outdoors! Take them to a grassy area and have each group come up with predictions about which colored paper clip will be easiest or hardest to spot. Do they think bright green stands out more, or dull brown blends better into the foliage? Let one team member drop 30 paper clips into the grass then count aloud while the other players test their skills by collecting as many hidden clips as possible. Afterwards, discuss what everyone learned – making sure that students understand how an animal's ability to blend can mean life...or death!

Because I created all of my adapted books to be used in my own early childhood self-contained structured learning classroom, this adapted book was made with students who have autism and/or severe language delays as well as second language learners in mind. Each visual is carefully chosen to help teach academic skills and to engage students with the story.
