Lesson objectives are given (using the Assessment Focuses from the National Curriculum wording, but easily adjusted). Each lesson includes multiple tasks and chapter by chapter questions that allow students to engage with the text (characters, plot, themes, locations, quotations etc.) whilst also considering non-fiction, context, and a range of language devices. Originally made for YEAR 8, this is easily adjusted and differentiation is included (see notes for how to use some slides and alternative methods for higher/lower ability). It has been taught to Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and even at GCSE successfully (both mainstream and Special Needs). The students really loved this unit and it has achieved ‘outstandings’ from observed lessons several times. I’ve also included a digital copy of the text for ease of printing extracts should you want additional ones not in the ppt. (Plus SEN often benefit from a copy of the text that they can draw on or highlight). I hope you enjoy teaching it and that the students gain something from this. Thanks for looking! :)

This story includes themed, sensory extension activities that link to the EYFS Framework and areas of the KS1 National Curriculum making them the perfect resource for Special Education (aged 3-19) EYFS, Mainstream Primary, Speech & Language and EAL students. What are the Benefits of Multisensory Storytelling? Storytelling creates a bond between the storyteller and the story explorer enhancing and enriching experiences. Rhyming Multisensory Stories connect the individual to literature, culture and topic in a fun and engaging way. The stories form a base on which to scaffold learning enabling the student to work on personal goals and individual targets. The activities in the stories are designed to promote communication skills: (eye contact, listening, shared attention & language development), self-confidence & well-being (trying out new ideas & skills, practicing self-care & independence and enjoying achievement), self-awareness: (asking for ‘help’, ‘again’ and ‘more’), present opportunities to explore cause & effect and build anticipation skills, promote physical development: (fine & gross motor skills), build knowledge about the environment & the world around us, to engage in scientific experimentation and mathematical concepts and to develop social & emotional skills: (turn-taking & sharing and teamwork).

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with biting. A lot of children bite others as a sign of frustration, anxiety, pain etc. - sometimes we may even find no explanation for why they are biting but hopefully this social story will help reduce biting behaviours. It is a general book full of different things your mouth can be used for as well as why we shouldn't bite - how it makes others feel, and if we need to bite what we can do etc. Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page. Comes in col option only - no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale. Pages included are; ♦ I can use my mouth to eat food. ♦ I can use my mouth to sing songs. ♦ I can use my mouth to laugh. ♦ I can use my mouth to talk to others. ♦ I can use my mouth to whistle. ♦ I can use my mouth to drink. ♦ I can use my mouth to tell stories. ♦ I can use my mouth to smile. ♦ I can use my mouth to do lots of nice things. ♦ Sometimes I get angry and want to bite! ♦ It’s ok to bite my chew toy. ♦ But it’s not ok to bite my friends. ♦ Biting hurts my friends and it will make them sad. ♦ Sometimes, my teeth hurt and I want to bite. ♦ I can bite my chew toy or ask for help. ♦ If I have bad teeth I can go to the dentist for help. ♦ I will remember to use my mouth to be kind. I recommend printing out each of the individual pages, laminating them and then binding them into a book so it will be easier for students to read - or be read to, as well as being stronger and longer lasting.
