Tuesday May 19 Social Thinking and Letterland

Social Thinking Activities
This week’s social skills lesson is book #5 in our Incredible Flexible You Social Thinking Curriculum. The book is called “Whole Body Listening.” 


Have your child watch this week’s social skills video, which includes the read aloud of “Whole Body Listening.” 




Then, if you’d like, have them complete the following activity (or activities):
1) Draw a self-portrait (remember to check for all your body parts head to toe!)
2) Use a yellow crayon or marker to circle the parts of the body that you use for “whole body listening.” (Go back and watch the story again if you can’t remember).
3) Demonstrate to a family member what “whole body listening” looks like


Extra extension activities:
4) Game: Which body part isn’t listening?
  • Sit or stand across from your child. Move one body part. See if he/she can guess which body part isn’t doing “whole body listening.”
  • Then, switch rolls and have your child move a body part while you guess.
5) Using your self-portrait, try writing the names of each body part. (Think about the sounds you hear and try to think about what letters might be in each word!)


And now we’re off to LETTERLAND!

Letterland: Straight Line Letters Review

We will be reviewing Straight Line letters over the next few weeks.  
We will be reviewing the letters L, F, E, T, H, I, and U.  The letters are associated with the following Letterlanders:
Lucy Lamplight, Firefighter Fred, Eddy Elephant, Talking Tess, Harry Hatman, Impy Ink, and Uppy Umbrella.  

Video to Introduce Straight Line Letter Review: 

  1. Print out these cards and use them in the following ways: (or write the letters on a piece of paper/index card if you don’t want to print them) and use them in the following ways: These games are not meant to be played all this week. Pick one game to play each week based on your child’s interest or the level they are at with their letters/letter sounds. These games will continue as we review our letters over the next few weeks.  You can play them multiple times 
    1. Match the uppercase letters with their same letter pair.
    2. Place all the letters face down and play a memory game
    3. Do a “Quick Dash” game. (Show the letter. They say the name of the Letterlander they see. Then say the sound. Last, the letter name. “Lucy Lamplight, /l/, L”)
See the video below.
