I love combining two of my speech therapy favorites: books for core words! In an attempt to be a bit more organized and target core vocabulary with my AAC kiddos and early communicators, I am beginning the process of organizing my books by targeted vocabulary.**
**You can see a more updated list of picture books sorted by core vocabulary here!
PS: Want to see a list of even more picture books that are perfect for targeting core vocabulary words? I expanded this list and added even more ideas here!
“More” is a common word I teach, as it’s functional in ALL contexts, with ALL partners, and is fairly easy to learn. Below are my favorite books to help target the concept of “more”. I love using aided language input while reading!
Picture Books Targeting “More”
Don’t worry, these books don’t just have the word “more” in the title. It is repeated throughout the book, sometimes on every page! You’ll have a lot of opportunities to say this word over and over.
You can even pair these books with a fun activity to target the word “more.” After I have targeted practice, I like to try to use the word in a more naturalistic setting. We always need to consider generalizing and carryover!
If you are looking for MORE AAC resources, my AAC Implementation Toolkit contains everything you need to make AAC work in your schools. You’ll get everything you need to train staff and parents, with tons of handouts, resources, and even a training presentation! Best of all, the packet now includes activity pages for 18 core words, with all my best ideas to get lots of practice using these all important words.

AAC Implementation Toolkit
One of the most important parts of AAC implementation is making sure that the entire team (family members, staff) is using simple but effective AAC strategies such as consistent AAC access, modeling, and core vocabulary throughout the entire day! This resource will help you educate others about four foundational, research-based, strategies (or “best practices”) for implementing and teaching AAC.
