🎃📚 Spooky Season Reads in San Ramon! 👻
Our San Ramon office is filled with festive fall favorites — perfect for building language and literacy skills while getting into the Halloween spirit! 🍂✨
Here’s how each of our Halloween books helps boost speech and language development:
🧺 The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything
Great for sequencing and repetition! Kids can practice retelling the story in order, describing objects, and using sound effects (“clomp, clomp,” “wiggle, wiggle!”) for articulation and engagement.
🐻 Corduroy’s Best Halloween Ever!
Supports social language and emotions — talking about friendship, problem-solving, and sharing. It’s also great for describing costumes and actions to build expressive vocabulary.
🕸️ The Curse of the Cobweb Queen (Otto and Uncle Tom Adventure)
Perfect for higher-level language — making predictions, understanding cause and effect, and exploring complex sentence structures through rich storytelling.
🎭 Arthur’s Halloween
A classic for perspective-taking and comprehension. Discussing how Arthur feels scared and brave helps build emotional vocabulary and inferencing skills.
🍬 Where’s the Halloween Treat?
An interactive book that supports early literacy and spatial concepts (“behind,” “under,” “next to”) — perfect for younger kids working on prepositions and simple sentence building.
Each spooky story brings a little magic — and a lot of language growth! 🧡
