What Does Scarecrow See? is a fall adapted book for special education classrooms, autism programs, speech therapy, preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, 1st grade and ELL newcomers. A predictable sentence pattern and picture matching let early and emerging readers take part in reading from the first page.
On each page students hear or read Look! What does Scarecrow see? and match a picture to complete the sentence. Twelve objects follow a fall day, from a pumpkin and an apple to a tractor, a goose and an owl, before the book ends with Good night, Scarecrow! The repetition builds confidence, and many students begin saying the pattern along with the adult after only a few readings.
Two full-color versions support different learners. Version A offers errorless matching for students who are new to the routine, and Version B asks for independent picture matching. Three piece levels, picture only, picture plus word and word only, let you move from pictures toward print as skills grow.
Language work goes beyond the book. WH question cards with picture choices, yes/no cards, sentence builder strips and an I See core vocabulary board support comprehension, communication and AAC practice, and a black-and-white mini book with traceable words goes home.
A teacher guide with assembly instructions, shared reading tips and a prompting hierarchy, plus an IEP progress data sheet and answer key, make the 50 pages practical for literacy centers, morning meeting and early intervention. Laminated pages hold up to daily handling.
