There’s a Hole in the Log On the Bottom of the Lake Summer Read Aloud Activities

There’s a Hole in the Log On the Bottom of the Lake by Loren Long is the focus of this summer read aloud for students with autism and special learning needs.

This unit has 5 activities to accompany Long’s book, There’s a Hole in the Log On the Bottom of the Lake.

The materials are designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage with lessons learned from reading There’s a Hole in the Log On the Bottom of the Lake.

There are many opportunities for students to engage with repeated information as they listen to the story about a frog living in a log underwater.

*****This unit includes 12 Google Slides and a version of the book read aloud. Perfect for an independent learning center.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities have time to engage with the material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than to the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
