matters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What an adaptive book makes possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is simple: when a child has the language and tools to engage with a story, they can participate. They notice, name, and respond. They begin to take part in conversations about ecosystems, rather than just listening to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That access takes deliberate design. Developed with STEM faculty at the University of Washington Bothell and CoSEE Program Manager Maddie Iem, each book includes built-in communication supports, prompts, and multisensory elements. Using open-source tools, the team creates augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) supports, including communication boards, vocabulary icons, embedded questions, and sensory pieces that make environmental literature more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocabulary is a big part of that access. Core words like \u201cgo,\u201d \u201cI,\u201d \u201cwant,\u201d and \u201clike\u201d make up much of everyday speech and help students respond to what they see and feel. Fringe words carry the subject matter. In a forest story, that might include \u201cDouglas fir,\u201d \u201csword fern,\u201d \u201cgreen,\u201d or \u201cblue.\u201d When both are included, students can interact with a story about nature, not just listen to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CoSEE Program Assistant Kaylin Datwyler shared completed books for educators to browse. Many connect to CoSEE\u2019s hands-on educational kits. The Great Pollinator Count, for example, pairs with the Mason Bee House Kit and the Bee Monitoring Kit, so a story can extend into a hands-on activity. The book also includes tactile elements such as wooden flowers and a stuffed bee to support exploration during reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
