    I like to adapt books for my students. So I take pictures of the characters, setting, title etc and use these to talk about the story. I especially like to find repetitive phrase books to include some of my students with limited mobility - so they can insert the phrase during reading. If I can I get props for the stories and sometimes use a puppet to read the story.
