Social Story Resource List

Hello and welcome new readers! I hope everyone is enjoying summer and keeping cool wherever you may be. Here in Texas it is suppose to reach 100F with a heat index of 100F+! Now that is hot, and to beat today's heat, I've spent the morning compiling a list of social story resources sent to my by other SLP's. 

About a month ago, I asked readers for their favorite/go-to resources when writing a social story for a child, and I got a great response. The trigger for this post came from a particular student, new to my school, who was in need of social stories for many different aspects of his day. I found myself writing one in particular, and asked, "Could I be writing this better, or differently?" Thus, the reason for asking peers for the resources they use to help when writing a social story. 

Currently, the resource list can be found on my FB page, here, under the "free downloads" tab. If you have a resource that you would like to see added to the list, please leave a comment below and I will add it to the list. 

Thank you & take care,
~Natalie

Thank you Jennifer from Straight Up Speech www.http://straightupspeech.blogspot.com/ for giving me the chance to review this great activity, and for offering two copies to two lucky readers!

Included in this packet:

 •35 picture cards each for initial /k/ & initial /g/

• 4 different picture bingo boards per word position per sound (24 total)

What I like about this packet:

*The size of the picture cards are great for little fingers to manipulate

*As well as 'mixed' boards for both /k, g/

I really like this activity and its usefulness for young children. Thank you Jennifer for allowing me the chance to review! This activity can be found in Jennifer's TPT store here .
