Interactive Read-Aloud Lesson Plans

Interactive read-alouds work best when every student has a way in — a prop to hold, a gesture to copy, or a word to model on their AAC device. This lesson plan resource provides the structure, visuals, and guidance to make that happen consistently across your whole group.

Created by Morgan van Diepen, M.Ed., BCBA, it includes three ready-to-use lesson plans for popular children's books, each with printable story props, core words to model, and facilitation instructions for inclusive participation.

What's Included

• Three complete lesson plans for If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Dragons Love Tacos, and If I Built a School
• Printable story visuals and props to cut out and laminate for each book
• Core AAC words and gestures paired with each story
• Step-by-step facilitation guide with a formatting key for core word modeling
• Sample finished story boards for each book

Who Is This For

General and special education teachers, paraprofessionals, SLPs, and BCBAs running whole-group read-alouds with students who use AAC or need multiple ways to participate.
