Product description
From the author
Preview a school-lunch routine with a twelve-page first-person social story. The sequence covers lining up, getting food on a tray, finding a seat, using utensils, eating, drinking water and clearing away.
Read relevant pages before lunch and discuss how the sequence compares with the child’s actual routine. The creator suggests using a display book or laminating and binding the pages for repeated use.

Skills covered

Self-narration modeling — the first-person structure gives students first-person language to anticipate and describe their own actions during lunch.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Is the story written in first person or third person?
First person throughout — each page uses “I” statements such as “I need to line up” and “I can put my rubbish in the bin,” so the story can double as a script a student rehearses in their own voice.
