Super Core Word Power Communication Books - ever heard of or used one in your classroom? In my classroom, we use and implement these communication books with students who need more support in communicating their wants, needs, and preferences. The children can flip from one page to the next. Each page has tabs with pictures and core vocabulary words. The child points to the picture to communicate with others. This is a great option for classrooms that have many children with speech and language communication needs that can't afford high-tech devices. You can comb bind them as seen in the photo or put the pages in a binder.  Follow this link:  https://thinksmartbox.com/product/super-core-new/  to learn more about Super Core. There are also many free resources available online where you can create and individualize core boards for your students:  https://www.picto4.me/    https://www.cboard.io/
