Social Skills in special education Following directions adapted book & activity
By Until the Pieces Fit
Adaptive Books & followup materials focused on following directions.
Following Directions: Adaptive books are interactive, as students will match the corresponding icon to each page. The books 2 levels and they are in color and in black and white. Level 1: short paragraph about different scenarios in which students need to follow directions (bathroom, dismissal, computer, work, snack, recess, & games. Level 2: book contains repetitive text "I will listen to my teacher when ....".
Following Directions Supplemental worksheets: Print and go worksheets! They are designed for student who need additional practice with simple directions. Use these during direct instruction & after reading the adaptive stories.
•Match direction to picture
•Match picture to picture
•Following directions with colors
•Following directions with positions.
These books do require some prep work, however once you have them made you can reuse for years to come! I have utilized adaptive books with students who have a wide range of skills & they can be an excellent motivator. I hope you enjoy and please reach out with any questions!!

Halloween themed SEL activity pages. Students will get to personify their worries. They'll be able to think about what their anxiety tells them, what it stops them from doing, and when it shows up most. Students will be able to list their top ten worries, brainstorm coping skills, and practice a fun breathing technique. Resource comes with a 31 day self care challenge where students will be able to participate in daily activities for the fall. Great for independent work or group sessions.

The Case of Respectfully Problem Solving - An Interactive SEL Lesson
By Jeni Donath
If you're ready to add a little flare to your next classroom lesson, this might be the one for you! The Case of Respectfully Problem Solving brings a whole new level to working together, creative thinking and perspective shifting, as well as small group problem solving, listening, and working together! It is a whole lot of social-emotional learning in one fun activity! This digit download includes 12 pages with everything you need and specific instructions on just how to use it! There are a whole lot of teachable and "ah-ha" moments packed into one activity.
Make it even more fun and package their materials in a "Top Secret" Folder! My students loved being able to work together on this activity, but also enjoyed the individual creative thinking that came with it. It was a blast for all! If you are looking to reduce your paper usage, this is a great activity where you could print and laminate some of the activity sheets to use at a later time as well - only printing what you need to re-use (the sheets that students will write on!) Easy prep - lots of fun - many skills practiced!

HUGE BUNDLE of Adapted Books (holidays, counting, seasons, animals, & more!)
By Until the Pieces Fit
THIS IS A HUGE BUNDLE of Adaptive Books! This huge bundle includes adapted books for all holidays, counting, colors and much more!
Right now there are 40 sets of adapted books included in this set worth $208.00! Each set includes multiple books giving you approximately 106 books to use with your students! PLUS, as I make additional books I just throw them into this set! These books will provide additional support and resources to your classroom all school year!
What is included?
This set includes a plethora of resources and it will keep you busy throughout the school year! I have included animals, holidays, counting, shapes, colors and more.
While many sets are made with the early literacy / early math skills in mind there are also books that can be used as your students grow their skills. I have even my biggest sellers are included in this massive bundle of 40 products!
Why Adapted books?
I personally love using adapted books. I have found them to be motivating to even my most reluctant learners. They are a great resource for such a wide range of learners as well as I can easily modify my instruction for the needs of each student.
I have used them with students who are just learning to sit in their seats and follow directions. Adapted books can easily be modified for students by providing less visual options.
I have also used them with student who are reluctant learners. They may already be confident in the skills presented in the books, however benefit from a learning activity they know they will do succeed with. It is a great starting activity!
Do you have a student who is working on identifying "wh" questions? Place a post it note over picture on each page. Read, ask the "wh" question, and your student can check their answer by checking under the post it note.
Once I have my books prepared they are sturdy, easily cleaned & stored. I store mine in a crate that supports hanging folders. They are sorted by topic and easy to grab and go. We use them in stations, with substitutes, my classroom aides, and when student want to read with peers. They are often requested as well!
How are they prepared?
These books do require some prior prep work. Once they have been created however they are able to be used year after year with a variety of students. I generally print, laminate, bind and velcro them so they can be reused. The adaptive books are designed with students ability to interact with learning material. Each book has interactive icons. Students will have options of 8-10 choices for each story.
So, why wait?
