Juniper's Adventure
A Digital /dʒ/ Articulation & AAC Speech Therapy Storybook | Pretzel Learning, LLC
Join Juniper on an imaginative adventure in this colorful, hand-illustrated digital speech therapy storybook designed to support articulation, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), language development, and emotional regulation!
During a trip to the park with Dad, Juniper's imagination transforms familiar surroundings into extraordinary adventures.
A playground swing becomes a ship sailing across wild waters. A garbage truck becomes a giant green dragon. And a park bridge becomes a narrow crossing over a deep canyon!
Although these adventures are exciting, they sometimes make Juniper feel frightened.
With support from her dad, her AAC device, and other communication methods, Juniper learns to express her feelings, request help, and recognize when she is safe.
Through Juniper's experiences, students explore imagination, self-advocacy, emotional awareness, and meaningful communication.
What's Included With Your Purchase?

Storybook (PowerPoint): A presentation-friendly version for individual sessions, small-group therapy, and classroom instruction.
Articulation Data Tracker (PDF): A separate therapist resource featuring narrative text with color-coded speech sound targets for articulation monitoring and data collection.

This purchase includes the PDF and PowerPoint storybooks plus the PDF Articulation Data Tracker. Printed copies and additional Digital Speech Materials are sold separately.
Targeted Articulation Through Connected Speech
Developed specifically for speech-language therapy, the 28-page narrative emphasizes /dʒ/, the voiced postalveolar affricate commonly associated with the English "J" sound.
Primary Articulation Target:
Additional Articulation Targets:
/tʃ/ – chose, crunch
/ʃ/ – ship, shift
/t/ – tree, truck
/d/ – Dad, device, dragon
/s/ and /z/ – sea, safe, shoes
The included Articulation Data Tracker identifies the following target occurrences:
The tracker uses color-coded shapes to support production monitoring. Additional /r/ opportunities occur throughout the story but are not individually marked to reduce visual clutter.
Supporting AAC and Multimodal Communication
A distinguishing feature of Juniper's Adventure is its natural integration of AAC into the story's progression.
Juniper uses her device to answer questions, identify objects, express reassurance, and initiate interactions. She also uses a manual sign to request assistance when crossing the bridge.
Functional communication examples include YES, I AM SAFE, TRUCK, HELP PLEASE, ALL DONE, and ADVENTURE AGAIN?
Her recurring phrase, "I—Only—Imagine," helps her distinguish imagined situations from her actual surroundings.
These moments provide opportunities for AAC modeling, self-advocacy, requesting, emotional communication, and multimodal expression.
Speech and Language Goals Supported
Primary Articulation: /dʒ/ in connected speech
Additional Articulation: /tʃ/, /ʃ/, /t/, /d/, /s/, /z/, and /r/
AAC and Multimodal Communication: Functional vocabulary, AAC modeling, signing, and requesting assistance

Emotional Development: Recognizing feelings, self-regulation, and responding to overwhelming experiences
Social Communication: Self-advocacy, supportive interactions, and communicating needs
