Iditarod Book List + Extension Activities

The Iditarod is a famous dog sledding race that takes place each March in Alaska. In therapy, families can learn about this historic event and target speech and language goals. Caregivers can ask comprehension questions during reading, as well as ask children about some of the challenges faced by competitors. I love to hear their creative responses.

Below is a list of books about the Iditarod. Happy reading!

• “Storm Run,” by Libby Riddles

• “Stone Fox,” by John Reynolds Gardiner

• “Silver,” by Gloria Whelan

• “Kiana’s Iditarod,” by Shelley Gill
