Dolphin Books for Speech Therapy

Dolphins are a fun topic for summer speech therapy! During reading, children can practice speech sounds, describe pictures, and sequence story events. Following the books, children and their families can engage in dolphin-themed crafts, such as painting dolphin pictures. Crafts are a wonderful opportunity to address prepositions and describing skills. Chapter books for older children are also a good way to discuss character traits and make predictions.

Below are suggestions of books about dolphins. Happy reading!
