Jeremys Big Role Matthew Silvestri

Written in partnership with a tenured pediatric speech language pathologist, Jeremy’s Big Role is both a fun story time read and a vetted resource for caregivers looking to have first conversations with young children about supporting peers with a speech disorder. Jeremy is getting his shot at playing the Big Bad Wolf, and he really wants to shine!
But sometimes he finds it hard to get past his stutter. And he’s not so sure what to do if this comes up during stage time. With help from his "pack" – his teacher, family, and friends – Jeremy practices his part.
And practices.
And practices.
Now, the day for the play has arrived, and this Big Bad Wolf is about to find out just how much his pack has his back!
Exploring themes of friendship and the CASEL standards of social emotional development like social awareness and managing emotions, Jeremy’s Big Role will blow you away with its charm and insight.
This title is leveled using both the Lexile and Fountas & Pinnell reading level standards. Endmatter includes tips for caregivers and peers on supporting young people with a speech language disorder, written by Haley Broocks M. S., CCC-SLP of Speech Up Austin!
