Sasha from The Autism Helper previews a 20-task reading comprehension pack for autistic students. Tasks include matching Dolch nouns, sorting answers by question type, clipping correct answers, and fill-in-the-blank sentences. Most use basic supplies like dry-erase markers, clothespins, and Velcro.
Hi, this is Sasha from The Autism Helper, and this is a product preview of my Reading Comprehension Work Task Mega Pack. So I wanted to start down here at the bottom with the table of contents. This is so useful for me because it tells exactly the list of different tasks, what pages there are, and then what supplies you need. So according whether you're printing half of them or all of them, you can get the supplies needed accordingly. This set requires very basic hard goods supplies, things like dry erase markers, clothespins or paper clips, and small bins is really the extent. So let's go back up to the top. There are 20 different tasks included all around different reading comprehension work tasks. So the first is matching Dolch noun to picture, and this is done in kind of a puzzle style. This task is pretty big, so you could definitely break this into a few smaller tasks, put these cards on a ring to kind of make it more manageable, or make it just one big huge task. I kind of like the option of setting it up however you'd like. Next is matching compound word to picture, um, set up in the same style. Next is matching the question to the answer, so reading the question and matching the corresponding picture. There's a variety of different what, where, and when pictures, um, questions included. Next is sorting answer by question type for who, where, when, and why questions. This is one of my favorite tasks, um, so reading the answer and identifying which category it would go in. Clip the correct answer. So there's a sentence with a question and then clipping with a paperclip or clothespin the correct answer for each one. Matching the sentence to the picture. I had a free work task part of the newsletter promos last year that was similar to this and had a ton of great feedback from it, so I want to make a longer version. So matching the sentence to the picture for a variety of pictures. You could put these on a ring or break this into a smaller task as well. Coloring according to directions, so getting a few different color dry erase markers and reading the directions and following those steps accordingly with the picture included, coloring according to directional words, so comprehension of the words right and left and following the instructions here, following directions with prepositions. So here are the pieces, storing them on this spot right here, and then moving the item according to the prompt. I always recommend putting multiple pieces of Velcro so we're not responding to the Velcro, we're responding to the words. And and really building that reading comprehension. I set these up on rings and in 3 different sets. Next is picking the correct description for each fruit. So clipping the correct one after reading all 3, or for each food item. Filling in the missing words in each sentence is next. So reading the sentence, filling in the missing word. Next is true and false sorting. So I have the same picture for 2 different cues on purpose because I didn't want the picture to be the prompt. Like every time I see the chimney, I know it goes under true. So there's a true statement and a false statement for each one. So like here, "A chimney lets the smoke out of the fireplace," or "A chimney keeps the smoke inside your house." So you're gonna have to read each one and then attend to which one is true and which one is false. Next is matching the synonyms. So for each word, finding 4 synonyms for each one, and there's a bunch included in here. This is a really great tricky task. Next is writing the word. I put these cards on rings. This is a pretty long task. You could break this into a few to make this more manageable as well, or keep it real long. Next is matching the picture to the sentence, so reading the sentence and finding the picture that most closely matches it. And these are for close and discrimination. Writing the sentences according to the, each the prompt, so adding a subject, verb, adjective, and object for each sentence using dry erase marker. Matching the context clues, so looking at the picture or reading the sentence and matching which context clue goes with each picture. Selecting the correct word that fills in the sentence with a clothespin or dry erase or paperclip. Finding the picture for each sentence, so reading the sentence and finding the picture that goes with each sentence. Again, I put these on a ring as well just to keep it more organized in a bin. And this is one of my favorites as well, filling in the paragraph. So there's 4 different missing words in each paragraph, you store them right here and then fill in each one, 4 different paragraphs for that. So 20 different reading comprehension tasks included. Reading comprehension is such an important skill to work on, and I love this for independent work, partner work, or just guided practice. So hope you enjoyed seeing this, and if you have any questions, let me know.
