Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Describe what a dentist does and the steps of a dental checkup
Answer comprehension questions about a story at a visual, mixed, or written response level
Anticipate the sequence of a dentist appointment (waiting room, exam room, cleaning, rinse)
Teaching tips
Read the story first, then choose the question level that matches each learner — level 1 emphasizes identifying pictured people and tools; levels 2 and 3 include function and location questions with different response supports
Use the pack before a real or role-played dental visit — the story's step-by-step structure works as a preparatory social narrative
Use a PDF reader that follows internal links and preview one question and its feedback before assigning the digital version. The pack totals 99 PDF pages, including feedback and section pages.
Skills covered
Story comprehension — who/what/where questions target the story's characters, tools, and settings at three support levels.
Functional vocabulary — twelve picture-supported dental terms from toothbrush to syringe.
Sequencing a routine — the story orders a dental visit from waiting room through rinsing with mouthwash.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do the three question levels differ?
Level 1 primarily asks learners to identify pictured people and tools. Levels 2 and 3 add questions about the dentist’s work and where to wait; level 2 uses pictures with text, while level 3 uses text choices. All three also ask what the story is about.
What makes the digital version different from the printable questions?
It is self-checking: each question's answer choices are clickable, and an incorrect choice lands on an 'Oops... Try again' page with a go-back link, letting students work through the questions independently on a device.
