This is a read-aloud of Because by Mo Willems and illustrated by Amber Ren is highlighted in September of the 2023 PRC-Saltillo Calendar.
Because is an inspiring story of a young girl’s journey to becoming a conductor.
Join us as we read about the big changes in a little girl’s life because of one tiny event!
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: wow, because, would, you, maybe, and wonder. 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!
