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

This is a sensory story for Alice in Wonderland. It explains everything you will need to present the story in a more accessible way. It is a longer story than usual for sensory stories and is aimed at MLD SLD students (P level 6 - 1C). The story is re written in simple language with the sensory elements in the comments, so you will need the review tab open. I did a chapter a week with my class, we read through the chapter twice each week. I used the story for literacy, completing relevant tasks after each chapter. The resources you will need are also attached, so you can take a shopping list out with you. I posted the items I needed on the staff notice board and went to charity shops, but Amazon is always available!

Sensory inputs for David Walliams – The world’s worst teachers (hardback version) – Dr Dread and the chair of a thousand farts. This resource suggests sensory inputs for the story but does not include the story. I have used this story with a class of 8 Year 12 SLD / complex needs students and they loved it because it is disgusting! I find that sensory stories help ASD and ADHD students focus on the story and help SLD / MLD students to remember and understand parts of the story. For further information on how to use sensory stories look at Joanna Grace’s website (http://www.thesensoryprojects.co.uk/ ) and book, £19.99 (https://www.waterstones.com/book/sensory-stories-for-children-and-teens-with-special-educational-needs/joanna-grace//9781849054843?awaid=3787&utm_source=redbrain&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=css&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5fH0moe96QIVkO7tCh3kuggYEAkYAyABEgI5ivD_BwE&awc=3787_1589792683_134bbbf381fd8d46a382e3d91d5a4c5e) This is an exhaustive list (shopping list at end), please do not think that you have to provide all of these sensory inputs – use as inspiration! You will find that some items are used throughout this story and that many items will be used again for other stories. Please leave me a review- so I know what to do better next time!
