The beginning of the year brings assessment time to get a basal line for the beginning of year. This Alphabet Assessment Package includes 4 different assessments for the alphabet recognition and identification with both upper and lower case. These progress monitoring sets include sets for testing letters in isolation or in groups of 2, 3, and 4 other letters. Data sheets are also included or you may use your own. Its all set up to start a data sheet for a student and continue periodic assessment throughout the year.

This set of Behavioral Supports includes general visuals useful in Special Education rooms as well as inclusion. Some of the items inside it are:

Here is what's in my cart

This is a teacher's dream come true!  I have taught for many years, but have always done my classroom set up by myself. Sometimes  I had other Special Education teachers in my school that could help me with ideas, but other times, I was all by myself for ideas as to how to set up a classroom for children with disabilities so that it works well for everyone.  LOVE THIS!!!





Several of my kiddos have a hard time retaining recognition and name of the alphabet letters. I am always looking for ways to reinforce these skills.
This products has a color section AND a bingo dauber portion!  YIPPEE!
These Alphabet Find and Daub from Erin Hagey from You AUT-a Know will make it fun for the kids and an easy activity for a center or work station. SUPER IDEA!

As a TPT seller I love creating my products and buying clip art and other items needed to dress up those products to make them appealing to students and buyers.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE buying clip art...oh yeah...already said that. These little skinny borders by Sonya DeHart at Sonya DeHart Design fit so easily on a page and dress it up while not cluttering it. AWESOME!!!

Special Education BTS Blog Hop and Giveaways

A 20 PLUS teachers all giving away FREEBIES ! Click on this awesome ebook link below to look at the Back to School Tips Book. Included in the book on every page are links to freebies along with helpful tips to help you get started just right this coming school year.

One of the most important things you need at the beginning of every school year, especially in a special education classroom are schedules.
Schedule help students know what they are supposed to be doing, they help the class to flow better and often help make students, especially those on the Autism Spectrum feel more at ease know what they will next.
Not only are schedules good to use in the self-contained classroom but they are great to use in inclusion classroom as well.
I have found schedules extremely useful in many types of classrooms and with many different types of students. Think about yourself or people you know. What would happen if they lost their planner or their phone with their schedule and calendar on it? Some of these people would be fine but others would be "lost", not knowing how to function without their phone and while most adults would not pitch a fit because they don't know their schedule or the next thing on their day, some would. Kids, especially those with disabilities find it hard
what they will do next, or get distracted after they have completed one task and do not know what to do. A schedule can keep them focused and on track.
Schedules can help can also help the child that has difficulty with unexpected changes in the regular schedule.  Using a schedule has also been shown to help increase independence! IF a student can tell from a schedule where he/she needs to be, then they will require less prompting from the adult.
So as you get ready to start another school year, think about schedules for your students and what type they may need. In the meantime click the schedule picture above  to pick up yours for a discounted price this week.

2 For Tuesday

Happy TUESDAY everyone!

I am really excited to bring you two really great products for this week's Two For Tuesday!

One of today's products focuses on greater than and less than. Those sometimes dreaded symbols that students have difficulty distinguishing between. Although I have most recently been teaching Special Education, I have also taught general education for many years. Even in general education, the more than and less than skill has been a topic that can difficult for students to grasp. It often seems to require skills that their young brains aren't quite old enough to grasp just yet. However we are faced with teaching this skills to younger and younger students each year as the standards are amended and moved to a younger age. So what are some tricks and tips to help students with this skill? 

One of the difficulties in learning this skill is remembering which sign <, > is which. I know it took me awhile when I was in school. Anyone else have that difficulty? 

Everyone probably knows the cute alligator signs to help the kids remember which sign means less than and which is greater than. With the alligator signs, the larger number of course always go in the alligator's mouth

One thing I have done in the past to help students remember the difference between these two symbols is begin by giving them a manipulative they can actually use between two numbers when they are first learning the skill. 

In order to do this, I have made "alligator jaws" in many different ways. Here are some of the ways that have worked for me. 

1. One of the most successful and durable was using 2 popsicle sticks or tongue depressors. I would join the 2 sticks at one end with hot glue making certain the opposite end was open wide to symbolize the open mouth of the gator. Depending on the age of my students at the time, we would sometimes draw teeth on them or use a black marker to draw the signs on the sticks. 
2. On other occasions we gave the symbols names such as Greta Greater Than and Lucy Less Than.
3. As I moved up in grade levels, of course the alligator was looked on by some kids as childish so I would move directly to the symbols themselves. Colors often help jog memories about things so I assigned colors to the symbols - such as coloring greater than  green and less than was colored lavender. 

What ways have YOU used to help students with this skill? I would love to hear from you!

In honor of greater than and less than , one of my 2 for Tuesday giveaways today is a discounted game for practicing the skill. Be sure and check it out in my TPT  Terrific Tuesday Store or click the graphic below.

The other product that's on sale this week, continues from our last few weeks of practice activities for sight words. I have included another set of review sight word practice. These worksheets have multiple ways to practice sight words on each page. They range from tracing and reading,  to writing and also matching words written in different fonts.

 Check them out! They are discounted for just this week.

Be sure and share the blog so everyone can get in on the sale prices. 

Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

2 For Tuesday #2

Reading Instruction in Special Education 

What do YOU use in your classroom?

PCI is one of my preferred reading program to use when teaching my self contained class. I love the repetition of the words being  presentation paired with the repeated practice of reading the words.
I have seen many students become fluent readers because of the PCI reading program.
This past year I found some of my students needed a little reinforcement in reading and writing the words after they had been presented in the program.


I developed some supplemental worksheets that can be used in conjunction with the program. Each worksheet gives the student the following activities to practice the words.

1) Trace and Read presents the each word in dotted font
to trace first with arrows to guide correct letter formation
then without the direction arrows. 
2) Find and Circle presents a variety of words in different 
fonts/sizes in which the students must circle the focus
word.
3) Write gives the students practice writing the focus word 
on their own.
4) Cut and Paste provides practice pasting the letters in order to form the word after cutting them apart.  



In my store you will find supplemental reading worksheets sets for all 140 words in Level 1, and Level 2 was well as review sets for both levels. Coming in the near future will be both reinforcement and review sets for the new level 3 that is out. This week for you - I am offering my level 2 PCI word worksheet sets at a discount price just for 2 For Tuesday.

The other item I'm offering is a set of Number Counting Worksheets 1-10. These worksheets provide multiple opportunities for students to practice counting, coloring in squares to match the numbers, and matching items with the numerals.
