Friendship Packet for Beginning Special Education Students

Often, young children in special education settings lack basic friendship skills. This includes lacking basic vocabulary, knowing students' names, and seeing where to interact in a school setting.

This is a literacy/activity pack to go with a “Friendship” theme. This pack meant for the more linguistically challenged students and is perfect for speech/special education collaboration. Two interactive books, and a customized friendship book is included. This is nice for integrating literacy and language activities. Clip art is from Smarty Symbols, and is copyrighted. Some children graphics are from Whimsy Clips.
