Children learn everyday vocabulary as they select the appropriate photograph for each page and put it in place in the story. The simple format and repetitive story content work well for children with autism spectrum disorders or delayed language development. Each nine-page story targets seven vocabulary words.

Close-up photos of the target vocabulary are used in the story. Students match identical photos to their counterparts on the story pages. You get several teaching options:

• teach vocabulary in isolation
• teach vocabulary in the context of a sentence and in a story
• fill in the blanks in sentences

The books can easily be used in an applied behavior analysis program. Suggested expansion activities are included in each book.
