Jeremy's Big Role: The Big Bad Wolf Helps a Boy Manage His Stutter

By Matthew Silvestri and Weaverbird Interactive

Jeremy is getting his shot at playing the Big Bad Wolf, and he really wants to shine! But sometimes he finds it hard to get past his stutter. And he’s not so sure what to do if this comes up during stage time. With help from his “pack” – his teacher, family, and friends – Jeremy practices his part. And practices. And practices. Now, the day for the play has arrived, and this Big Bad Wolf is about to find out just how much his pack has his back!

Exploring themes of friendship and the CASEL standards of social emotional development like social awareness and managing emotions, Jeremy’s Big Role will blow you away with its charm and insight.

Written in partnership with a tenured pediatric speech language pathologist, Jeremy’s Big Role is both a fun story time read and a vetted resource for caregivers looking to have first conversations with young children about supporting peers with a speech disorder.

This title is leveled using both the Lexile and Fountas & Pinnell reading level standards. Backmatter includes tips for caregivers and peers on supporting young people with a speech language disorder, written by Haley Broocks M.S., CCC-SLP of Speech Up Austin!

Reviews for Jeremy's Big Role

[librarianryan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The best thing about this book is that it brings stuttering to light. But this is a lesson book, and the story is more about the lesson than the entertainment. It works fine for what it is, but it would not be a book I recommend over and over again.
