Now that I have more time, I have been able to put together some FREEBIE sorts for all of my followers so stay tuned each week for Social Story Saturday where I will be posting a social story and sort.
For my first Social Story Freebie I have chosen to share my
Being a Good Friend Social Story. This one was especially important a couple years ago in my classroom because I had several girls who could be quite catty!
You will find that my social stories are very simple and just outline the basic do's and don'ts related to that topic. Feel free to toss any pages that you feel don't apply to your kiddos.
Social Story
For each social story, I also made sorting cards. The sorts then give a bunch of "good" and "bad" choices for students to sort. I typically have them sort them when debriefing.
I have included a free sorting mat where students can cut out the sorting cards and paste them in the correct area. However, I use these often and I prefer students do the sort quickly so they can return to class so I made reuseable sorts.
To make the sorts reusable, I printed the sorting cards on cardstock and laminated them. Then, I attached velcro to the back of each card. Next, I used a long file folder and made one side "good choices" and the other side "bad choices" (you can use the sorting mat headers below as the folder headers... that's what I did!). I made an extra copy of the social story book cover and used it as the sorting folder cover. Then, I laminated the file folder and put velcro dots on the inside under each heading.
Now grab this as part of my Social Story Bundle on TPT!
