A simple, editable A4 worksheet useful for new classes or groups, induction days, welcome days and other opportunities to get to know your students. This can be used across any setting, age group and level. An inclusive font and text size has been used.
These separation cards are perfect for touching base with your ELSA children. Once an intervention is finished it is important to keep contact with your children. Great relationships occur during ELSA interventions.
Some children do build a strong bond with the adult that they work with and these little cards will ensure that they know they are still being thought about and are not forgotten.
Of course these were created for the ELSA/Child relationship. These would also work well for Teacher/Child, TA/Child, Learning Mentor/Child or anyone who works either on a one to one basis or small group basis with children. Parent’s may even find them useful to pop in their child’s lunch box for example, or put one under their pillow to remind them about how amazing they are.
