An adapted book is a short picture book with a velcro card on every page: the child moves the card into the sentence, so reading becomes a matching task they can do with their hands. These are not the simplified readers made for language learners. This set ships fourteen finished velcro books with everything a classroom needs around them.
What is included
- Fourteen adapted books: the ten from the free maker plus four exclusives (Calm-Down Strategies, My Daily Routine, Getting Dressed, and the verb book What Is She Doing?)
- Every book in color and in an ink-saver version, in US Letter and A4
- A class set of card sheets per book, so four students can read the same book at once
- Comprehension cards for every book, one question per page
- A data sheet per book with the goal written, ten trials per page word, and a prompt key
- A teacher guide: how to build, how to read at two levels, how to run a data probe, and when to use each book

Questions from teachers
- Which books are in the set?
- The ten books from the free Adapted Book Maker (Snack Choices, Sensory Breaks, Feelings, the I Spy books for colors, the classroom, Halloween, Christmas, farm animals and zoo animals, and I Am Thankful) plus four that only ship here: Calm-Down Strategies, My Daily Routine, Getting Dressed, and What Is She Doing?, a verb book.
- What does the set add over the free books?
- For every book: a class set of cards so four students can read it at once, a comprehension card for every page, a data sheet with the goal written and ten trials per page word, an ink-saver version, and an A4 version. Plus the four exclusive books and a teacher guide.
- How do the moving cards work?
- Each page has a velcro box in the sentence. The child finds the picture on the choice column and moves it into the box, or takes it off the page and matches it back to its word. The book never needs resetting.
- Are these velcro books?
- Yes. Every page has a velcro box and every card sheet cuts into velcro-backed pieces, with a 1-inch square to check the print size. A glue build and a point-and-say build are in the guide for classrooms without velcro.
- Do they work with AAC?
- Yes. The sentence starters mirror phrases many AAC users practice every day, and the usage page shows how a child can answer on a device while an adult taps the printed words.
- Can I still edit a book after buying?
- Yes. The ten free books open in the maker with every page loaded, and the four exclusives print as shipped; the maker can rebuild any of them from its picker.
- What formats and paper sizes are included?
- Print-ready PDFs only. Every book comes in color and ink-saver, in US Letter and A4, so you pick the pair your printer uses.
- What is the license?
- One purchase covers one teacher, therapist, classroom or household. Print as many copies as your students or family need; please do not share the files.
