Angela Kulcsar created three printable books to teach pronouns to students who struggle with the skill, especially those on the autism spectrum. The first covers basic pronouns like he and she through matching. The second and third use movable star pieces to practice possessive pronouns and first-person pronouns, with mixed-order prompts to prevent memorization.
I'm Angela Kulcsar, and this is a product preview of my Pronoun Adapted book series. So 3 books come included in this set, and they're included in a zip file, so all 3 PDFs are grouped together so you can print them out individually or all at the same time, whatever you prefer. So the first one is this matching pronoun. So this is kind of the most basic one that goes through introducing the concept of a pronoun and starting to develop that category or group of what words pronouns are. So there's instructions to set up the book, which are included in each book, and a kind of little visual cue anchor chart. I think these pages that are in all of the books would also work awesome as classroom anchor charts, so you could definitely go ahead and print 2 of these and then put one of these up in your room or in a student's binder. I think would be really great. Each page starts out with a wh-question: who's playing? Where is the canoe? 'Who is kissing the frog?' And then the student will fill in the pronoun. 'She is kissing the frog.' 'He is getting a book.' 'It is in the bowl.' 'They are lined up.' So the basic pronouns that we're working on here are he, she, they, and it. So here are all the pieces that they move and put together, and then here's the storage page. So that's the basic book. The next one looks at possessive pronouns, which are a really tricky skill for a lot of our kids. So directions are included on setup. And this one is looking at his, her, or their. So for each prompt and fill-in, your student will use a movable star piece to select if it's his, her, or their for each one. And the order of the words are mixed up so they can't memorize every time. Um, the boys fought over their ball. The girl is reading her book. Look at her cupcake. So they'll move the star to indicate the correct response. There's the star pieces and the storage page. And the last one is looking at the pronouns "I" and "me," which again, something our kids really, really struggle with. So these first-person pronouns here. So each one, they will move the movable piece and select "I" or "me." So clap with me, I draw a circle, and add them into that spot. Here are all of the pieces and the storage page. And as you can notice, a lot of these books have a lot of pages and a lot of response, like 2 or 3 responses on each page. Because we, again, we really want to give our students multiple opportunities to practice this skill, and repetition is really, really key here. So this was a video preview of my Pronoun Adapted book series by theautismhelper.com.
