2 worksheets to support understanding of pronouns (he / she / they). Created for KS1 / KS2 autism class but also appropriate for KS1 mainstream learners or intervention groups
A hotchpotch of various resources I used with my ASD specialist provision class during a recent Under the Sea topic. My class were mixed ages and varied widely in ability (P4 to approx Y1/Y2 ability) so the resources reflect this. These resources are suitable for any age group who are working at this level, and also suitable for mainstream.
There are 10 files included:
L is for lighthouse - simple level, tracing ‘l’ and colouring items that start with ‘l’
S is for starfish - as above but ‘s’
Sea Creatures - match photo to image (simple reasoning / develop generalising)
Lighthouse Facts - 2 A4 worksheets for basic lighthouse facts. 1 page is words only, 2nd sheet is supported by symbols.
Lighthouse Factsheet - very similar to above but slightly prettier - used in a previous year with a group who were more able and could manage with more visual distraction.
Lighthouse intro - basic powerpoint
Draw and label a lighthouse - simple A4 sheet
Starfish ‘eat’ or ‘live’ sorting sheet
Starfish fact sheet - A4 sheet for learners to complete
Under the sea describing words - topic related pictures, learners needed to find a describing word for each picture (e.g. ______ boat ) 2 copies per A4 page
Resources used with my specialist ASD class while we were learning about St George (British Isles topic).
George and the Dragon Vocab - 6 A4 pages with varied activities focusing on the vocabulary of the story.
Pages 1 and 2 - ‘Key word bingo’ we were prelearning / reinforcing the words in the story. I stuck one of the ‘Key word bingo’ sheets in each of the children’s books.
Page 3 - these were the words in the bingo (calling cards). I cut these up and kept them in a basket. We ended our English lessons that week with a game of key word bingo using the strip stuck in their book. We just used counters as markers so we could replay. For more able pupils, if they had a picture I would ask them what the work meant or ask them to put it into a sentence. For less able pupils, I would repeat the word and give an explanation to reinforce understanding.
Page 4 - activity for a child with limited ability to read or write, instructions included on the page.
Page 5 - pictures of key words - learners to write a sentence using the key word.
Page 6 - missing word activity with visual cues.
George and the Dragon Vocab list - 1 A4 page containing vocab list (2 per page)
This PowerPoint was designed to use with a Year 7 class of students, all with autism.
A question sheet is included - this is set out in a 'TEACCH' style. This is an ASD specific strategy ensuring students are aware of what they have to do, how much they have to do and how to tell when they are finished. Students need to cross off each question as completed.
The questions and PowerPoint are also suitable for mainstream pupils.
Two posters developed to remind pupils of presentation expectations for school work. Using a ruler for lines, writing and underlining date, marking own work in red pen, diagrams in pencil, etc.
General resource for secondary.
A sheet for learners to state what they have done on their summer holidays. They could either write or use the images provided.
1 main sheet and 2 sheets of images with ideas. I have tried to make it inclusive and mindful that not everyone jets off abroad or has days out so have included things like McDonalds, walks, mobile phone, family pets, park.
