I'm currently a teacher in a special needs school working with pupils who have ASD. I've worked in a number of age ranges, from 3-16. All of my resources are ones that I have used in class and have worked well! Although my resources are aimed towards pupil with ASD, they are easily and quickly adapted to use in mainstream schools too.

**Synonyms Sorting Activity **
This activity is based on synonyms/words with similar meanings. The pupils have to sort the different words into the six categories of: Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared, Big and Small. It can be used as a single use cut and stick worksheet, or can be laminated to be used again - the latter is what I have done with this resource myself. It also doesn’t have to be used as one activity, as part of workboxes using the TEACCH system I have split it into 3 activities.
I’m currently a teacher in a special needs school for children with ASD. The class I currently have range from P4 - 2C. These are a lifesaver. I use them daily with my pupils as part of their workboxes following the TEACCH system. The pupils respond well to the activity, and with daily repetition I am seeing great progress in English.
**World War One & Warhorse - Differentiated Worksheet Activities **
These worksheets are all based upon either WW1 or the story of Warhorse. Our English topic for the half term was Warhorse. As part of this, I did some basic knowledge on WW1 before moving onto the story.I work in a special needs school for children with ASD. The levels in my class range from P6 to Level 2C. So these worksheets are extremely varying in level and ability.
The worksheets included are:
Settings Descriptions - Farms and Trenches
In these activities pupils had to describe what they could see in the pictures on their worksheet. We did some examples on the board to model.
‘I can see’ - Farms and Trenches
These were for my lower ability pupils. They had to say what they could see in the picture, and label it accordingly. They also had to state where the setting was based.
Character Descriptions - Albert Narracott & Joey
In these activities pupils had to describe the different characters. The pictures provided the pupils with examples of their physical appearance, however they were also encouraged to include things they knew about their personality.
Handwriting & Phonics Booklets - WW1, Animals/Trench life & Warhorse
Again these were used with my lower ability pupils. I set them up in a clear fashion, allowing pupils to get used to the layout. They had to verbalize the word, trace it, and then copy it underneath. They then had to match the word to the correct picture at the side.
Animals used in WW1
In these activity, pupils had to cut out and stick the animals on their worksheets into the different sections. From this, they then had to write a sentence about the animals that were used in WW1.

Anne Frank - Differentiated Activities (P6 - 2C)
I work in specialist school for pupils with ASD. The class I currently have are working at levels P6 up to 2C. These resources are based on a lesson about Anne Frank, that I repeat once a week to ensure understanding is taking place. I read a story to the pupils about Anne Frank, as running through a PowerPoint with visuals. As I do this, the pupils will be completing their differentiated task.
It would work well as a one off lesson, or the resources can be laminated to be used on a regular basis (as I currently do).
Whats included:
HA Task - Pupils are to write the word relating to the visual they can see on the PowerPoint, and answer questions throughout the story.
MA Task - Pupils are to write the word relating to the visual they can see on the PowerPoint.
LA Task - Pupils are to match the words that they can hear and see on the PowerPoint.
Story - To be read along with the PowerPoint
Anne Frank PowerPoint - Visuals to be used in conjunction with the story.
