Social Stories Comprehension Worksheets
Beginner Level Worksheets Worksheets for beginner level students consist of four words and four associated pictures. Students draw a line to connect the word with the picture that it describes. Depending on your student's gender, Speech Kingdom will automatically select the appropriate worksheet. The boy version is shown in the illustration. Intermediate Level Worksheets Worksheets for intermediate level students consist of five fill-in-the-blanks questions and a word bank of five words. Each of the words has a letter (A-E). Students can either fill in the blanks by writing the appropriate words, or optionally enter the letter that is associated with the correct answer. Proficient Level Worksheets Worksheets for proficient level students are similar to those of intermediate level students. The only difference is that there are 10 questions and 10 words in the word bank. |

Speech Kingdom's Social Stories put your student in various social situations that children (especially) with social communication delays and disorders may experience. Social Stories have been successfully used by therapists and teachers since 1991 to help with various aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).* Through the use of customized avatars, we put your student in the stories, greatly increasing their ability to visualize themselves in the situations being presented and providing a basis for attention, comprehension and fun. Speech Kingdom's Social Stories teach and enforce understanding of Perspective Taking and Theory of Mind. When your student's avatar has a thought, their character glows with a yellow aura. Click the glowing character or thought bubble to hear and optionally read what they are thinking.
