Hair Pulling Social Story
Special Resources, Social Skills, Not Grade Specific,
Social stories use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation however social stories can also be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event. This social story is to support a child who has been pulling other people’s hair. It explains that this hurts others and is not acceptable. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt.

This Jugglers reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Jugglers Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies / Arts Primary Topic: Juggling across history and repeating patterns Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best Traces juggling through time and places (ancient Egypt, China, Greece/Rome, Europe, and today). Uses a historical example (an Egyptian tomb painting) to explain evidence of early juggling and what it suggests about audiences. Highlights performance skills jugglers show—control, timing, courage—and how crowds can understand the act “without any words.” Explains change over time: juggling’s reputation in Europe after the Roman Empire weakened, and how modern circuses brought it into the spotlight. Emphasizes the repeating pattern at the heart of juggling (throw, wait, catch, repeat) and connects it to learning rhythm with patience. Learning Goals Describe what the Egyptian tomb painting shows and why the passage calls it an early picture of toss juggling. Explain how juggling was used to impress or amaze people in different cultures mentioned in the text. Describe how some people in Europe viewed jugglers later and explain what the skill did instead of disappearing. Identify the basic juggling pattern named in the passage and explain why it matters. Compare where a juggler might perform today (stage, circus ring, sidewalk) and explain what stays the same. Key Vocabulary From the Text tomb — a place where someone is buried. audiences — groups of people watching a performance. festivals — celebrations with events and crowds. rhythm — a steady beat or timing pattern. wrongdoing — doing something people believe is wrong.
