►What’s Included?◄ You will receive: -”This or That” card, pictured above; roughly 3.5 by 7 inches and 300 pixels per inch (ppi), ensuring crisp quality when printed, -Over 200 pictures of common activities in the home and school setting (in PDF format and 1.5 by 1.5 inches each with 20 pictures to a page) *Picture categories include common home activities, school activities, food/snack items, calming activities, and toys/reinforcing items ►How to Use◄ Giving children choices makes them feel like they have control and power over what they do. Although some children easily go along with teacher or parent directives, others need to feel that they have some control over their activities. Allowing children to make their own choices is a skill that they will need to acquire as they grow. This visual prompt assists in doing just that through the use of simple, concrete pictures of activities and task choices. It is especially helpful for stubborn students or children who engage in rigid behaviors. Simply select two task pictures included in the instant download (for example; art or music, wash dishes or take out the trash, recess or center time, etc.) and allow your student to select which one they’d like to complete first. This card can also be adapted for use in the home environment. It is compact enough to transport in your purse in order to assist in generalizing behavior across multiple settings. This card is especially helpful when performing activities of daily living in the community that are difficult for your child, such as going to the grocery store or running errands. ► Terms of Use ◄ This artwork is copyrighted by Roots To Growth.

►What’s Included?◄ You will receive: -All 3 denominations ($1, 5, and 10) of behavior bucks displayed in the thumbnail -Reinforcement chart that serves as a visual to remind children what they are working towards *Behavior Bucks are roughly 2 by 4.5 inches each, with 6 behavior bucks to a page. Reinforcement chart is 8.5 by 11 inches. Both files are 300 pixels per inch (ppi), ensuring crisp quality when printed. ►How to Use◄ This game helps to remind students that working hard, listening to the teacher, and behaving appropriately are things that should be rewarded. Children perform better on tasks whenever an incentive is provided, which is where this product comes in! The gist is this: Good behavior is rewarded with behavior bucks. Behavior bucks can be traded for access to a variety of rewards (including activities or inexpensive items) in return for good behavior. This game can be suited for any of your classroom management needs! The rewards are completely up to you! Tangibles (like pieces of candy or access to computer games) or activities (such as being the classroom leader, or being able to sit next to a friend), can be used with this game. Rewards will be most reinforcing when tailored towards individual student preferences. (See the Reward Survey in my shop if you’d like to purchase a survey that identifies what is most reinforcing to each of your students for $1)! Reward good behaviors with behavior bucks more frequently when first implementing this game into your classroom routine. As your students become familiar with the game, you can stretch the amount of time between delivery of behavior bucks for good behaviors or increase the amount of behavior bucks needed in order for students to receive rewards. This product can be adapted to suit academic needs as well, such as homework or worksheet completion (for example, the child receives one behavior buck per 5 math problems completed, or one behavior buck per correct spelling word), or remaining actively engaged during instructional time (for example, one behavior buck each time a child participates in a discussion or remains attentive to the teacher during a lesson). ► Terms of Use ◄ This artwork is copyrighted by Roots To Growth.

►What’s Included?◄ You will receive: -”The Waiting Game” card, pictured above (8.5 by 11 inches), -Semi-transparent Clocks sheet, pictured above (8.5 by 11 inches) *Both files are 300 pixels per inch (ppi), ensuring crisp quality when printed! ►How to Use◄ Younger children and children with ADHD experience significant difficulty with blurting out and waiting their turn to participate in an activity or conversation. Although frustrating, it is important to remember that they are not doing it on purpose. Impulse-control problems can be mostly neurological in nature (i.e. children with ADHD often have lower levels of dopamine, which can lead them to reflexively respond to their environment by disregarding the social norms of waiting their turn. Younger children also have difficulty taking turns because they have not properly developed the impulse control skills that come as they mature). Reminding children to stop interrupting using verbal means in front of the entire class can be embarrassing to a child with ADHD or impulse-control issues. This visual prompt serves as a reminder by using simple, concrete pictures in a discrete way. Simply display this visual to your child or student and explain to them that you would love to hear their input and have them participate in activities with the group; however, it is important that everyone gets the opportunity to participate. Hand your child or student three of the semi-transparent clocks included in this digital download and instruct them to place a clock in the corresponding position on the Waiting Game Card each time a friend/peer provides an answer. After three peers have engaged in the activity or conversation, your student is now able to engage as well! In order to reinforce The Waiting Game even more, it may be helpful to reward your child or student each time they wait the appropriate amount of turns. Once they have become accustomed to The Waiting Game, you can fade the rewards slowly. ► Terms of Use ◄ This artwork is copyrighted by Roots To Growth.

A collection of creative, fun and engaging lessons to build on and consolidate understanding of instructions.

Here is a complete lesson that is fully differentiated and has clear links to the PSHE curriculum too. This lesson was observed by Ofsted and went down very well. Used as a lesson on imperatives with KS3 SEND students, they become agony aunts and answer a dilemma by writing a response. It could used successfully with UKS2, LKS3 and EAL students too! Download includes: WALT and differentiated WILFs (purple = HA, gold = MA and Blue = LA) 3 differentiated letters for the students to respond to (included on presentation slides) Differentiated Bingo Sheets *Bingo sheets and differentiated letters are included as slides after the presentation! I hope it goes well, and more importantly, saves you some crucial time! Please review with feedback and suggestions! I’d really appreciate it.

This is a short unit for refreshing using the language of instruction or a simple introduction to. Included: A colourful PowerPoint presentation, complete with WALTs and differentiated WILFs. A fun ‘How to Be a Spy’ guidebook template I created this for my KS4 SEND class. They really loved it. It was a revision topic more than anything else, so didn’t get too much into the nitty gritty. It would suit upper KS2, lower KS3 and EAL students too! The lesson involves a collaborative discussion-based starter, a challenge opportunity and two self-assessment traffic light points to gauge understanding. It could easily run over to two lessons, so could save planning. Please review with feedback or suggestions- I’d really appreciate it. I hope it will afford you a bit of extra (and very well-deserved) time for yourself.

This is a fully resourced, fully differentiated and high-quality 9 document lesson that only takes about 5mins of prep time, depending on how fast you are with scissors! It’s based around creating recipes from random ingredients. Students will use imperative verbs to write recipes. I created it for my KS4 SEND class but it would work a treat for primary, early KS3 and EAL learners too. It could quite easily work as a fun transition activity on an open/taster day etc. I tried to make it as visual and fun as possible- Instructions isn’t the most exciting of topics! I used it for an observation and it was graded as Outstanding. You could easily extend it to include writing restaurant reviews or using some drama etc. Included: Lesson Plan - includes WALT, differentiated WILFs, primary national curriculum targets and differentiated ability group information. 3x worksheets (fully differentiated HA, MA and LA) PowerPoint - visual with WALT, WILFs and opportunities for self assessment and challenge. Starter cut-and-stick matching activity, which can then be used as a support sheet for the main task (you could differentiate this further by scrambling the words for HA, etc.) Plenary cards Differentiated food lists for tasks …all you need is some envelopes! Hopefully, it will save you some time planning and mean treating yourself to that glass of wine, extra boxset session or bath. Please take the time to leave some feedback letting me know how it worked for you and if you can suggest any improvements. I’d really appreciate it. N.B. I’ve left it how I use it, really- my class are far too competitive to have red, amber and green groups- they’d figure out who’s top and who’s bottom very quickly and it would cause no end of bother, hence why I have purple, gold and blue groups instead. I hope it’s straightforward!
