Friends in the Den is a visually stimulating book that draws in the reader with bright pictures, a fun rhyme, and picture cues to assist with new vocabulary. The characters are 2 aliens, a bear, and a dinosaur. Ben, the dinosaur, has to learn to accept that aliens may not be so different after all. The book was written to assist children with the social concept of acceptance of other's differences, increase word vocabulary, and learn phonemic awareness. This is Ms. Bolton's third book of many; she feels there is a need for books that assist children with autism but also beginning readers, children with language deficits/delay, students with reading delays, and visual learners. This book is to increase social skills, but also to learn how to accept and understand everyone's differences. Each of Ms. Bolton's books has a picture/word vocabulary review (pictures associated with words) in the beginning pages of the story, and picture cues, by associated words, throughout the story. Ms. Bolton is a special education teacher who has been teaching children with autism for over 12 years. She started writing and illustrating books to help her students with language, reading, and social skill deficits. The students enjoyed the stories and are excited to identify words using the picture cues. "Reading is a skill that must be practiced and drilled." Sight words and word families (at, et, ot, etc), beginning reading skills, are needing to be learned earlier and earlier.From the author: Read with an excited, fun voice and reading with be a breeze for you and me! Take the time to read every day. Reading/Language can not be learned or enjoyed without wonderful, excited family members demonstrating and modeling the skills. Talk to your child, read to your child, and have them read and talk to you. Even children with a disability like autism can make exciting gains with early interventions (first 5 years), but they learn by models, visuals, therapy and lots and lots of practice. I hope this book and my other books (coming soon) will help on the road to reading. Enjoy.
