About this resource

What's inside this resource

Stories are a great way to teach children important social skills that they may be struggling with. Social Skills Stories & Activities use clear, explicit language to break down information into small, manageable steps so that children can more easily understand what they should and should not do in a particular social situation.

This Social Skills Story is similar to the 3rd-5th grade version but with fewer words and a more simple sentence structure.

The story discusses when one may need to ask for help and how to do it.

As with all of my products, I am more than happy to modify this story for you. Perhaps you would like a child's name in the story, or a photo, the name of the child's school, or teacher? Just contact me in the Q and A section and let me know what you would like!
