What kids do

“Read the picture recipe. Then answer the questions.”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. Ask a grown-up before you make food. Check for food allergies first.

Teacher tip

Make the snack for real if you can. Check allergies first, set out the food in the order of the pictures, and let the student point to each step as they do it.

How to use it

  • Point to each word as you read it together.
  • Tie the page to a real outing, like a walk to the office or a class store.
  • Share a copy with families and therapists so home, school and therapy match.

Watch for

Reading the picture instead of the word. Cover the picture now and then to check.

Talk about it

  • How many are there? How do you know?
  • What helped you do that by yourself?

Take it further

Look for the same words and signs on a walk around the school.
