Little Mermaid Multi sensory story

(0)
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

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.

It is Autism friendly - as there is a clear sequence/structure and lots of visual support. The idea is to ‘visit’ countries around the world, learning facts - using English skills for reading, comprehension and writing; learn some simple language, and sample the culture. This is a bundle of all the European countries including passport & board pass templates, sensory ideas, and other general resources and then it includes the following countries: China, Japan, India, Thailand, Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines & Vietnam.

Drama warm up game -People to People

(1)
I am compiling a selection of warm up or opening games and activities, each on a separate sheet, that I have used in my drama classes with children, young people and adults with SEN and learning disabilities. They are not all of my invention (and indeed it is hard to attribute authorship to any one person when games have become so widely used), but I have described each one in simple terms so that they are easily accessible to the drama teacher, especially if you are just starting out and are not sure what games will work with a group of students with different needs. Many games can be found online if you have the time to scroll through but often they are described in a complicated way or a slightly different form which may not work with SEN groups. I have compiled a long list of games over the years and have numbered them all. I then ask students to pick a number at the beginning of a session and then we play the game that corresponds to that number. In this way the students have ownership of the session and choices. I hope you find this game useful and search for other games in my selection under actitout1 on TES resources..
