Colourful semantics for CVC words SEN ASD

(1)
Colourful semantics to go with 23 CVC words. I split these into 4 words per week (one week, has 3 words) and we work on spelling these words and using them in sentences, but this can be easily adapted if you wanted to use more words per week. I have included colourful semantics boards, from the basic Who, What doing, What, to more complex Who, What doing, What, Where, Why. I have laminated these for my class and differentiate so some of the students complete only the 3 word sentences and some complete the 4 or 5 word sentences, but using the same pictures. I have included 3 pictures of examples of students using the boards and words (I hav blanked out student names)

The Tempest SoW for KS3 (suits low ability or SEN)

(4)
This is a Power-Point with over 100 slides on Shakespeare's The Tempest. There are resources and activities included within this. It is aimed at low ability KS3 and was made for special needs groups (Autism, Dyslexia and ADHD, predominantly) but easily differentiated. Whilst a text can be read alongside, this unit focuses on very short extracts to help students understand character and theme - whilst making it as accessible as possible to those who struggle. It is recommended students watch the play initially to help develop their visual understanding and then re-watch clips to support what they read. The activities are included and worksheets can be printed as individual slides. This can easily be adapted to challenge students further - and some suggestions are made in the notes section.

'The Journey by Neil Griffiths' Sensory Story for PMLD/SLD/Early Y ears

(0)
Sensory Story for Special Needs/PMLD/SLD/ASD and Early Years. The Journey by Neil Griffiths is a lovely rhyming story great for your weather, journeys or transport topic! 'On a windy autumn day, A boat broke free and sailed away has it gone for evermore, and what adventures are in store?’ This rhyming story takes you on a magical journey with the little red boat that the boy once lost. As the boat slipped from his grasp, the boy watched sadly as it disappeared from view. Follow the boat on its exciting voyage into the unknown and marvel at what lies at its journey’s end. This sensory story is laid out in a simple format of: Do, Say, Play and additional info In each category it tells the teacher what staff are doing, what the teacher is saying, and what music is playing. Each ‘scene’ is threaded together using the text/rhyme from the story. The story has an obvious build-up of tension where pupils have opportunities to express their excitement and anticipation. THIS SESSION REQUIRES A LARGE PARACHUTE I am a Drama teacher with over 20 years’ experience teaching SEN including PMLD SLD MLD and ASD. Unlike many sensory stories I focus upon creating tension and atmosphere through light, shadows, music, sound effects and staff call and response. I am new to posting resources on TES but please keep an eye out for more dramatic interactive stories.
