All About Me Game, transition, new class

(0)
A game I made for my small class of learners with autism. Suitable for any small group introduction - e.g. intervention group, speech and language, attention and listening. Learners throw a dice and move around the board. When they land on a question, they answer the question. I like to ask another member of the group a question relating to the answer, to encourage learners to pay attention to each other's answers - my children tend to have very little interest in each other! Supports social skills, attention and listening, turn taking. Used for specialist autism group but appropriate for any mainstream KS1 / KS2 group or older SEN group.

Immerse young learners in the wonderful world of language with these worksheets tailored specifically for Early Years and Special Educational Needs (SEN) students. These worksheets are crafted to introduce and reinforce foundational literacy skills through the engaging activities of copying and tracing words. In the Early Years, where the journey of reading and writing begins, these worksheets serve as gentle guides. They provide a supportive platform for children to explore letter formations, connect sounds to symbols, and gradually develop their handwriting skills. The act of copying and tracing words not only enhances fine motor skills but also fosters an early connection between spoken and written language. For SEN students, these worksheets offer a unique opportunity for differentiated learning. They accommodate diverse needs and learning styles, providing an accessible path to language development. The structured format of copying and tracing words assists in building confidence, improving hand-eye coordination, and reinforcing essential vocabulary. I’m constantly striving to improve and provide the best resources for educators like you. Your feedback is invaluable in helping me achieve that goal. If you have a moment to spare, I’d really appreciate it if you could drop me a review.

This is a multi sensory, plain English version of The Little Mermaid. The story is based on the Ladybird Favourite tales version. It has been rewritten in simple language. The equipment is detailed so you can make a shopping list! The multi sensory elements are described throughout the story, but feel free to adapt to suit your needs, or if you have a better idea! I will be using the resource with secondary age, SEN (SLD / MLD/ complex needs) students for Literacy lessons. The ‘chapters’ are quite short, so each chapter can be used as a sensory story. I plan to do one chapter a week with my class. The use of multi sensory input helps students to retain and understand the information within the story. For more information about why sensory stories are beneficial Google Joanna Grace. I hope you enjoy using this story with your students! please review, so I can improve, th
