Ella Bella Just Can’t Tell Ya!
Do you have a child that struggles with word finding difficulties? Meet Ella Bella, an adorable young girl struggling to find the right words to say! Throughout the book, Ella finds strategies to help her find the words she is looking for! I love how Hallie incorporates easy strategies throughout the book to help parents incorporate word retrieval strategies. For example, when Ella Bella can’t think of the word “hammer”, she describes it as a “tool, has a handle and is used with nail.”.
Do you have a child with complex communication needs? Ella Bella Just Can’t Tell Ya! is also a wonderful book to use the Descriptive Teaching Method for AAC users. For my students, we are always working on building vocabulary and using descriptive concepts.
A resourceful and engaging read for therapists, educators and parents!
