Fifty social narratives for self-control, kindness and school routines, written in simple sentences with pictures. Every story is 2 pages with 8 pictures, followed by a Think About It page, visual cue cards and a Topic Finder.
Fifty social narratives for self-control, kindness and school routines, written in simple sentences with pictures, to hear again and again. Every story is two pages with eight pictures, followed by a Think About It page where students circle the good choice, answer talk questions, write an "I can" plan and draw themselves. The stories explain the why behind each choice: accepting no, keeping hands to myself, waiting, sharing, fire drills, riding the bus and many more.
A social narrative works because it is read more than once. The first reading introduces the situation and the choice. The second reading lets the child hear the why again — why waiting is hard and why it matters, why hands stay to ourselves, why a fire drill means walking quietly. The Topic Finder matches a behavior to the right stories, so a teacher can pull the exact story for the moment in front of them instead of searching through fifty.
The set is built for repetition in real classrooms. The 50 visual cue cards, plus 4 blank cards to make your own, turn a story into a reminder a child can hold. A Stories I Have Read tracker keeps the reading visible, and a Social Skills Star certificate closes the set. How to Use and Teacher Notes are included, and the whole set is one black-and-white PDF.
The pages are black and white on US Letter paper, and the listing states 168 pages. The grade range is kindergarten through 2nd grade, from the description; the listing's Highlights field says Not Specific. The description lists 100 story pages and 50 Think About It pages, plus 54 cue cards and front matter, without stating how many pages the cards take; the listing states 168 pages. Both figures as stated, do not reconcile.
