Thank you for purchasing Remi's Ride to the Zoo by Panda Speech Publishing. I created this book to help my speech therapy students but is perfect to use with any young child. The target age range is 3-6 years old depending on skill and interest level.
Your students will love lifting the flaps to see if. Remi is at the zoo yet. This book targets community vocabulary (places), where questions, increasing utterances, yes/no questions, and more! It has two interactive elements to keep your student engaged (lift-able flaps and moveable pieces)
Read the book with your child or student. At the top of each page, it asks the child to lift the flaps (open the car window) to see if they are at the zoo yet Prompt the child to lift the flap to look and see. They will then answer yes/no (verbally or by pointing to the symbols on the page). The child will match the picture velcro symbol (move-able square images) to the box in the phrase and to answer the question “Where is she?” (“She’s at the _____”). Tapping the boxes as they say it (model when appropriate) encourages verbalization! Use the following supplemental worksheets/activities if desired.

​Supplemental materials (free downloads). All available in one downloadable PDF below
-
Picture supported comprehension page: Use a bingo dotter, marker, or crayon to color the answers to the questions. This is a great follow up activity.
-
Read & Color: I use this page as a reinforcer for the vocabulary. After each page in the book, the student will color the place they found in the book under the flap.
-
Cut & Paste Where Questions: Cut out the pictures from the book at the bottom and glue them in the correct box under the questions.
-
Cut & Paste Sequencing activity: Cut out the pictures from the book on the right side of the page and glue them in order that you found them in the book.
-
Character Coloring Pages: Bonus coloring sheets (3) featuring characters from the book.
-
Full Color Map: Cut out the map and line up the two pieces and glue together (leave a white edge on one of the pieces to glue it together). Laminate. Laminate the car and attach velcro (the velcro is to make it easier to hold and to store on the back). The student can drive the car to all of the places as you read the book. You can also use a toy car.
