Ashley from The Autism Helper shows how to create four-level workbox tasks for students with different abilities. Level 1 uses picture-plus-word matching with a word bank or Velcro card. Level 3 asks students to write the item name with a dry-erase marker. She stresses there's no single right way to level tasks, just meet learners where they are.
Hi guys, it's Ashley from The Autism Helper, and today I want to show you guys how I level one of my Workbox tasks. As you start creating your Workbox system, it's really important to think about how you could create multiple levels for each task. Having 2, 3, possibly even 4 levels for one task will be really beneficial to you and your students. Many of our classrooms have several students in them, and they are all at different levels. So making sure that we have a task that meets their needs is really important. Today I'm showing you guys a task that is from the 40 Work Task resource on the Autism Helper store. I'm going to show you guys 3 different levels within my Level 1 and my Level 2. I'm giving you 2 different options with those as well. So for the first level, I have Level 1. I have our picture of our item and then the word is underneath here. So one way we could do this is have a word bank and they would find the word on here and match it to that word on the picture. Another option would be to put this on a larger note card and then Velcro this on and they would just remove it and match for airless learning. For my level 2, I would again have a picture here and some Velcro. I can offer a word bank and they would find the correct word and match it to the picture. Or we could put this again on a larger note card and then create a multiple choice option, giving 2, maybe 3 options here. Um, that would be your level 2. And then for my level 3, having the picture with the blank space here And then the student could write the name of the item with a dry erase marker. So when you're creating your task and leveling them, there's no right or wrong way to create the different levels. Just think about the learners you have in your classroom and meeting them where they're at.
