This is a read-aloud of Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees is highlighted in March of the 2023 PRC-Saltillo Calendar.
Giraffes Can’t Dance tells the story of Gerald the giraffe. Gerald learns that dancing is whatever he wants it to be.
Join us as read about how Gerald learns to dance to his own tune!
Throughout the story, you’re encouraged to inspire interaction and conversation using the TAAP strategy. This month we suggest TAAPing your way through the story and model the following messages: oh my, how, yes, maybe, I, and hope. Additional words for modeling are also included in this read-aloud: read, read more, turn the page, and the end. Model words to match the interest and needs of the person using the communication system as you explore different word combinations!
