The best book activities! 5 adapted and differentiated activities that you can do for the popular read aloud, Room on the Broom.

Room on the Broom is a great story about friendship and inclusivity with a fun Halloween theme for your special education classroom. Read on to learn more about activities you can do that are already differentiated for you.

Why Book Companions?

Book companions are a fun and engaging way to get students interacting with a read aloud picture book!

Here’s a look inside the best book companions for special education classrooms (Halloween l themed).
