We're ready to play in 2024! This year's PRC-Saltillo AAC Literacy Planner, Let's Play, is all about play and friendship. This month's book is a collection of poems called A Stick is an Excellent Thing. This read-aloud video provides an opportunity for a shared reading activity using 5-6 target words with a smart chart to help you model these words.

You’ll take a picture walk to build background knowledge and then listen to the story.
