Several resources on a Three Little Pigs theme. Designed for primary children with autism but would also work for mainstream. Three Little Pigs wordsearch Three Little Pigs wordmat 'All About Pigs' information sheet with accompanying booklet for children to complete. (Comprehension) Wolf / house craft - children cut out squares with pictures of the Three Pigs' Houses, these are stuck onto the main sheet as a 'door'. Behind the door, children write whether the Big Bad Wolf managed to blow down that house. 'Is' or 'Are' worksheet with Three Little Pig theme.

Question cards, children to clip a clothes peg onto the correct answer (yes or no). Some questions are literal, others require reasoning / knowledge of concepts such as biggest / youngest, prepositions, colours or general knowledge.

One sheet to introduce the idea of writing lists. One sheet to support children to use the information from the list to write a sentence. This sheet ties in with Robin's Winter Song which we are beginning after half term but doesn't need reference to the book - it could just be an independent list of what animals eat. Designed for KS2 children with significant SEN / autism.

Resources used in my ASD specialist provision class last year, this was a mixed age and ability class who found positional language very difficult to master, even with lots of practical lessons! The pictures used are coloured teddies as we had teddy counters in class. I’ve chosen the colours to match the counter colours so we could use physical teddies for children who needed a more concrete experience. Teddy before / after - 3 A4 sheets. Two of these sheets have a line of teddies at the top, with an arrow to show the direction that they have lined up in. Children need to answer ‘before’ questions (e.g. ‘who is before orange teddy?’) As most of the children had limited literacy skills, I included a strip of teddies at the bottom of the sheet so they could cut and stick instead. This allowed for more independence. The 3rd sheet was an extension for my more able children. Children had to use ‘before’ or ‘after’ correctly in sentences about the teddies. Position Teddy - 5 A4 sheets. Sheet 1: 3 lines of coloured teddies Sheet 2: simple tables Children are given one of the 3 teddy strips which they use to complete the table on sheet 2. Sheet 3: black and white teddy strips to colour Sheet 4 and 5: directions strips Children are given a black and white strip and a sheet of directions (e.g. ‘Red teddy is 1st’ so the child colours the first teddy in their strip red) I chopped and laminated these where appropriate (the teddy strips and instructions) so they were reuseable. They can also be left as they are and glued into books. Together with some practical work, these activities covered maths lessons for over a week. If laminated, they are also good to come back to as one off refreshers, or for 1:1 or intervention work.

Sorting activity, used as a workstation task but could also be used 1 to 1 or for small group work. Used to develop reasoning and reading comprehension. Children sort fact cards into ‘truth’ and ‘lie’. Cards best laminated so they last - I blue tac the truth / lie cards onto 2 plastic containers to give more structure to the activity.

2 CVC activities I have used in my mixed age autism / social communication ARC. These would also be suitable for mainstream learners. CVC words- word shape:10 A4 sheets, with 6 CVC cards on each page. Each card has a picture of the CVC word and, underneath, the shape of the letters that make up the word. I laminated these and used them in a variety of ways but they could also be used as worksheets. CVC Write the Room - my class love these! I chop up the numbered cards and blue tac them around the classroom. The class go around with a clip board and the answer sheet (included). I usually do 2 different write the rooms at the same time so more able children do a different version. There are 12 numbered cards to complete and an answer sheet. These too have the word shape underneath to act as a visual cue. 4 A4 sheets in total. Most of my learners have ADHD as well as their autism so moving around the classroom allowed for physical movement and was more engaging. The words are: rat, wet, hot, cup, cap, jam, bed, car, net, lid, saw, bus.

Children read the word and attach clothes peg onto the appropriate picture. To reduce the possibility of guess work, many of the pictures are of items which are similar to the word if read incorrectly, for example ‘scare’ shows pictures for ‘scar’, ‘scare’ and ‘share’. Three sets of cards are in pack, 15 cards in each set, so 45 cards in total. Cards need trimmed and ideally laminated. I designed these for my learners with autism / ADHD as a more interactive way to practice reading, but they are also suitable for KS1 / SEN.

A selection of Little Red Riding Hood activities I used in literacy with my ASD class. There is quite a lot here, all at quite a simple level - my learners were all at P Level to Reception / early Y1. The activities are also suitable for mainstream children working at the above level, or older learners with SEN.

Children read the word and attach clothes peg onto the appropriate picture. To reduce the possibility of guess work, many of the pictures are of items which are similar to the word if read incorrectly, for example ‘feel’ shows pictures for ‘fall’, ‘feel’ and ‘feet’. Three sets of cards are in pack, 15 cards in each set. Cards need trimmed and ideally laminated. I designed these for my learners with autism / ADHD as a more interactive way to practice reading, but they are also suitable for KS1 / SEN.

I used this for an interview lesson. It did turn into the interview lesson from hell - however I don't think I can blame the worksheet. It was designed for KS4 pupils. I later tried the lesson with my own KS3 pupils and it went much better. Matching task using vocabulary (which is likely to be unfamiliar) from the song "Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)'
