Scripted Story Tip Please note that you can use real photographs with the line drawings for children that need this level of support. For instance, next to the line drawings, you can glue or Velcro a photograph of the class sitting nicely in circle, the teacher talking/reading, the class singing, the class dancing, the child sitting, etc.

Glue on photograph of child sitting. OR Sit. Sit. Cut out “sit picture”, laminate, place rough Velcro on back side, and Velcro to carpet in front of child’s seat in circle. This will act as a visual cue to the child. The teacher can also pick up the picture to show and cue the child to sit.
