51. Dive into the Mother Bruce Book Series for Speech Therapy
04/23/24 • 20 min
When we find a book series we like, we consume all of the books they have to offer and find ways to incorporate them into our speech therapy sessions. One book series that’s gaining popularity and we’re enjoying right now is the Mother Bruce book series. There are 9 books in total, with 3 Little Bruce books as well. Just a heads up that we’re not discussing all of the books in the series because we believe that 4 are better to be read at home or for a fun read-aloud in the classroom. With the books we are discussing, we’re going to dive further into the Mother Bruce book series, how you can use them during speech therapy, and which key concepts to target the most.
Resources Mentioned:
- Mother Bruce Series Free Download
- Seasonal Picture Books List
- Themed Picture Books List
- Mother Bruce
- Spring Stinks
- Bruce's Big Storm
- Bruce and the Legend of Soggy Hollow
- Thanks for Nothing
