Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved this resource:
♥ ”I LOVE this resource. It is so engaging, my students adore the story and all the activities keep them motivated as well. Also, for me, I am in love with having everything I need for the story all in 1 place. Most of the time I am jumping around between activities and companions that don’t necessarily completely align with the book.” – Jaclyn C.
♥ ”I was hesitant to spend the money on this resource because it’s just one story. SO GLAD I DID! So many activities AND three levels of the story! I’ve used this for 3 weeks and going now. It’s SO great and all my kids love the story! I’m blown away with just how much I’ve been able to use this resource. I printed them all in color (thanks, Instant Ink!) and put alllll the materials in binders. I’ve filled two binders. The price is a steal. I highly, highly recommend it for all SLPs!” – Lauren V.
♥ ”I’ve bought almost all of your products and I have NEVER been disappointed. The quality is spectacular and I absolutely love the variety of activities included. Thank you so much for also included digital options. I was so excited (even a little overwhelmed!! – in a good way) when I saw how many activities were included. I am a forever-customer!” – SpeakEazySLP

Sweet story and nice activities. Wanted a few more pages for the vocabulary section.
Tracy M. –
I’ve been looking for a wordless picture book that I could really build a whole therapy unit around and this is it. The character description work ties into the narrative goals on so many of my students’ IEPs and the sentence formulation activities are perfectly scaffolded.
Claire G. –
As a fellow TPT creator, I have to say this is one of the most well-crafted story units I’ve seen. The original artwork, the multiple text levels, and the thoughtful activity design all show a deep understanding of what SLPs actually need in therapy materials. Impressed!
Brenda Y. –
I printed the color version for my therapy room and the outline version for students to take home. The story itself is engaging and the accompanying activities cover so many skill areas. It’s rare to find one resource that does this much.
Rebecca Barnes –
Versatile and beautifully illustrated.
Ashley Y. –
Searching for Home has become a staple in my therapy room. I love having an original story that was designed from the ground up for language therapy. The variety of formats means I never have to worry about compatibility with different devices or settings.
Sue E. –
I really like the overall concept and the story is charming. The different text levels are a great idea and the activities target important skills. My only feedback is that the Boom Card version had a slightly different layout than what I expected from the preview, which required a little extra time to figure out. But the content itself is strong and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it this year. The core vocabulary and tier 2 vocabulary sections are particularly well done. I’d still reccommend it to other SLPs.
Jennifer M. –
Wonderful story unit. Well done!
Courtney K. –
My kiddos ask for this story over and over.
Tara S. –
Prep it once, use it all year. Amazing!
Brenda O. –
I used this with my special education students and the wordless format was perfect for them. They could engage with the story at their own level and the picture scenes gave us lots of vocabulary to practice. The activities are well structured and easy to follow.
Tanya M. –
Great for mixed language groups.
Kristin C. –
I’ve purchased a lot of story units from TPT and this one stands out as one of the best. The fact that it’s an original wordless picture book written specifically for SLPs makes all the difference. I can use it for everything from basic sentence formulation with my younger students to complex sentence combining and story comprehension with my older groups. The 3 text levels plus gestalt language ideas mean I don’t have to adapt or modify anything on my own. It’s all done for me. I’ve used it in color, in outline, digitally, and printed, and it works well in every format. If you only buy one story unit this year, make it this one.
Liz E. –
Such a unique and thoughtful resource.
Katie –
Love the Google Slides option for this!
Cheryl Y. –
So versatile and easy to prep!
Frances –
I’m in my CF year and feeling overwhelmed with planning. This story unit has been a lifesaver because I can use one book to target so many different goals. Character description, sentence formulation, vocabulary, comprehension, it’s all here. The different text levels make differentiation easy too.
Terri Patel –
The wordless picture book concept is genius.
Grace G. –
Adorable story and great activities!
Catherine M. –
One of my favorite purchases this year.
Paula Miller –
I use this in my private practice and families love seeing the story come home with their kids. The printable format is great because my clients can practice retelling with their parents. The tier 2 vocabulary words are relevant and functional.
Sharon –
My students love Searching for Home!
Sandra A. –
As a veteran SLP of 20+ years, I appreciate how much thought went into this resource. The wordless format allows for so much flexibility and the included text levels mean I can use it across almost my entire caseload. The story comprehension activities are well designed.
Kathleen C. –
Having both color and outline versions plus digital options is so thoughtful. I printed the outline version for my students to color while we discussed the story and used the digital version for my teletherapy kiddos. The vocabulary work is excellent.
Michelle Murphy –
So much you can do with just one book!
Casey W. –
Really love the concept of an original wordless picture book designed for therapy. The 3 text levels are great for differentiation. My only wish is that there were more comprehension questions included, but what’s there is solid and well made.
Samantha U. –
I used the sentence combining activities with my 4th graders and they responded really well. Starting with simple sentences from the story and building to complex sentences felt natural and scaffolded. The worksheets that go along with the book are high quality too.
Beth A. –
I love that this was created specifically with SLPs in mind. You can tell! The core vocabulary and tier 2 vocabulary activities pair perfectly with the story and my students have made great progress on their narrative goals.
Kathy S. –
The flexibility of this story unit is amazing. I’ve printed the color version, used the Boom Cards digitally, and even read it on my iPad with students. Having one book that covers character description, vocabulary, sentence formulation, and comprehension is such a time saver.
Diane C. –
Print it once and use it all year long.
Tara –
This original story is adorable!
Joy E. –
The gestalt language ideas are such a thoughtful addition to this story unit. I have several students who are gestalt language processors and this gave me a clear way to incorporate them into the same activity as my analytic processors. Really well thought out resource.
Crystal Anderson –
I’ve used Searching for Home with my 1st through 3rd graders and every group has been engaged. The wordless format is perfect because my students at different language levels can all participate. I use the character description activities for some groups and sentence combining for others.
SLP Sarah –
BEST story unit I’ve purchased.
Robin E. –
My students ask for this book every week!

This wordless picture book is brilliant for therapy. I used the different text levels to differentiate for my mixed group and the story comprehension activities were perfect for targeting narrative goals. My students were genuinely invested in the storyline.
