I’m so excited to share these 3 free counting adapted books with you today! I LOVE to use adapted books with my students, and as a fellow educator.. I KNOW how hard it is to find time to do all of the things. So, let me take some of that workload off you by giving you some free counting adapted books.
In this blog post I’m going to give a brief overview of what adapted books are, as well as a link for how you can make them. You’ll also find a link for downloading 3 free counting adapted books to use with you students.
WHAT ARE ADAPTED BOOKS?
Adapted books are specifically designed for students who have a range of diverse needs, including our neurodivergent community. These books usually involve a non-distracting format.. adapted content.. and visuals to make them engaging and accessible for our students. Sometimes we can have adapted books with sensory elements, visual supports and even interactive features.

3 Free Counting Adapted Books
I love to use adapted books to work on a range of themes and skills with my students. And counting has been a great skill to work on them with. In this free download, you’ll find the following adapted books;
- Level 1: How many apples are in the tree?
- Level 2: How many bees are around the hive?
- Level 3: How many spiders are on the web?
Instructions
- Print out all of the pages.
- Cut out the pages and laminate them.
- Next, cut out each of the symbols individually. I like to add a dab of glue on the back of them when I put them into the laminating pouch so that they don’t move around when they go through the laminating machine.
- Trim the pages down and place them into a binding machine to punch the holes.
- Then, use a comb binder to turn the pages into a book.
- Cut out each of the individual symbols and place velcro onto the back of them.
- Laminate the final base – the baseboard – and add velcro onto these.
- Place the individual symbols onto the baseboard.
