Core Word Books at DTA Schools

Our Core Word Books are thoughtfully designed to support students with diverse communication needs in building foundational language and literacy skills. Each book focuses on a small set of high-frequency core words, paired with engaging, age-respectful themes and vibrant visuals.

These books are ideal for students using AAC and those developing early or emergent reading skills. They include:

  • Repeated use of target core words for language development.
  • Simple, meaningful sentences paired with supportive visuals.
  • Opportunities for partner-assisted reading with prompts for modeling and interaction.
  • Themes that are age-appropriate and aligned with functional communication goals.
  • Integration of literacy-building strategies, such as alphabet awareness, phonological skills, and writing extensions.
