1) Alphabet Knowledge - As speech-language pathologists, we play a critical role in literacy. It's so important for our little students to gain alphabet awareness. The primary illustrations in this book are letters! It's perfect for talking about letters and their shapes.
2) Rhyming - This book is so much fun for addressing rhyming! You can even whip out the iPad and youtube songs that go along with this book. Children love singing and it's the perfect way to work on rhyme discrimination.
3) Inferencing - It's never too early to start working on inferencing! When all the letters get to the top of the coconut tree even the youngest students can infer that the tree is going to tilt over (when provided with a little scaffolding!). Also, at the end students can infer that the letters are going to race up the coconut tree again!
5) Prepositions - Discuss the locations of all the letters! Letters are over, next to, under, beside, etc the coconut tree! I also created a cute little freebie to compliment this book that addresses prepositions. Students cut out the letters and glue them around the coconut tree according to the preposition given.

Thanks for stopping by the blog! I hope this freebie will prove useful for you! If you're a blogger, I'd love if you would link up to share some ideas!
