I think that social stories are great tools to use in the classroom. I have made books for children who have challenging behaviors. I read it to the class and then leave it in our reading corner to use when needed. The children like to read them because they are usually simple and they can relate to the content.
My focus child has a speech delay. The social story will be about communication. I will provide pictures for common signs that may be needed in the classroom. I will also provide the words for those signs. For example, I will put in the sign for stop and write the word under it. I will then write a sentence about the sign and word. The whole class will be able to use this book and it will provide another means of communication in the classroom.
I like your use of pictures, words, and a sentence. My focus child is developmentally delayed and I am making a book for her about communication, so I enjoyed reading about how you write your social stories.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I have a child who is developmentally delayed and he needs a book about communication as well. I believe he would communicate with others if he had something to help guide him.
