The slides are visually-engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. It includes links to well-chosen videos to emphasise/ reinforce key points, in addition to song suggestions and interactive activities to involve the audience.

I would say that the assembly is ideally pitched at KS2, but both KS3 and KS1 would be able to access it with only minor vocabulary/ language adaptations. Hope that you find this useful!

This resource pack of 2 sequenced whole class reading sessions aims to develop children’s comprehension skills whilst learning about autism spectrum disorder. Children read key extracts from the text ‘A Different Sort of Normal’ by Abigail Balfe in two stages (both hyperlinked and provided as PDFs). Each reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language. The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The sessions are best suited for children in years 3-5, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
