In case you don’t know, wordless picture books are one of the most versatile, useful materials you can have for speech therapy! I’ve worked in 3 different settings since graduation. This has turned me into a material hoarder as there are very few materials that are appropriate for all of the children I’ve worked with! Wordless picture books continue to be one of my most used materials for ALL ages/ability levels. I just love them! My middle school students still think they are cool – and that is a big win! Below are my ten favorites that I use all the time!

    Snowman’s Story is a favorite of mine and perfect for this time of year 🙂 I “read” it with a second grader today and it was a hit!

    I found that using “The Farmer and the Clown” by Marla Fraser during a circus theme we had worked really well for multiple ages!

    Oh no It looks like the links to the different books are broken… only shows the numbers 1-10. I will check back to see if this changes. Cheers

      I’m sorry about that! Try it on a different computer or device. I think it is a browser issue! Thanks for reaching out.

    Hello – New to your page! I am trying to find new materials to use with my son (age 6) who has receptive/expressive language disorder! How are these books meant to be used?? By making up our own stories? Describing the pictures? Thank you for your help! 🙂

    Someday you should consider creating a list that is more specific in terms of an age range. Something specific for birth to three and then 3 up because I think that changes things.

    The Toad and The Frog series has several wordless books, and the Good Dog, Carl series are wordless. Fabulous story content with fabulous, descriptive illustrations!

    Alexandra Day wrote a series of wordless books centered around a dog named Carl. The first is titled “Good Dog, Carl”.
