20 Valentine’s Day-Themed Books for Speech and Language Therapy

There are so many fun Valentine’s Day and friendship-themed books, it’s always so hard to choose just a few to use in speech therapy sessions.

Sometimes, students may not “click” with the “mushy love” theme of Valentine’s Day. That’s okay! That’s when I usually adapt it to be more friendship-based than about love. 

Here are 20 Valentine’s Day-themed books to use in your speech therapy sessions for the next few weeks.
