How Do I Feel?

This Interactive Reading Book, by Joan Green, is designed to be used on many levels.  Utilizing the power of visual strategies, beginning readers learn to associate pictures with words. Students move original, Velcro-backed drawings to match, identify, label, sequence and create sentences while learning to read! Interactive Reading Books are fun and rewarding for children with and without special needs. Age 1+.

Children learn to identify pictures of emotions in this book. Sentences such as, "I feel ________ when I do a good job," allow the students to label their feelings. (There are no "correct" answers.) Open-ended questions at the back of the book allow teachers, therapists, parents or children to make up their own sentences. Even if a student is non-verbal or doesn't speak English, once they can identify the pictures, you can read the sentence and have them give you or point to the picture that labels their emotion. Another fun activity and a means of assessing a students emotions is to put the pictures face down and have students pick a picture. Ask them to give you an example of what might make them feel that way. (ex: A student picks a card that says, "excited", ask the student to tell you something that would make them feel excited.)

Use this book with your students for identifying, matching, labeling, sequencing, creating sentences and learning to read.
