My 10 Favorite Books for Pirate Week!

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate day on September 19th, this week has been deemed, Pirate Week! Actually, I like to stretch pirate week out to 2-3 weeks because there are just so many fun pirate activities, but this is the week you will see pirates invading classrooms, blogposts, and therapy sessions.  I wanted to share a few of my favorite pirate themed books that I use in therapy while celebrating those silly scalawags! Below I compiled a list of my 10 favorite books to use during Pirate Week!

Are you counting down the days to summer vacation? Or are you like me and work year round? I do not regret my decision to be a private therapist/stay at home mom while my little one is still little... but it does sting a bit seeing my friends' countdown to summer posts! 

Since the reading and the learning does not stop for summer vacation, I thought I would complie another book list with the help of my speechie friends. 

Put on your shades because this time.... it's summer style!
