More Resources:

 

autiusm.lovetoknow.com – a large listing of worksheets and activities on a variety of subjects

 

Reading Logs – childrens-books.lovetoknow.com    Printable reading logs (or you can just keep a list) – reinforce for a set number of books.  Ask WH questions at the end of sections.

 

autismservices.chancelight.com – another site with a variety of worksheets and activities.  It looks like most are free.

 

Other things you can do:

 

• Read simple books to your child and ask WH questions at the end of a page or section

• Expand conversations in a game-like format (Example:  What is your favorite animal? Horse What can you do with a horse? Ride it. What else can you ride?  A bike. How many wheels does a bicycle have?  Two. What action can you do 2 times?  Clap. Show me clapping 2 times.  (claps twice).  What is an activity you clap for? Soccer goal …..  (see how far you can extend the conversation—this is great to do for a snack i.e. 1 goldfish for each response)

 

 

Families – Let me know if you need anything specific.  I will add to this list as needed

 

Stay safe and healthy!
