Sunshine Literacy Small Group Learning Activities are a series of fun and motivational games and tasks for students with autism and other developmental delays. These lessons were developed to assist in teaching students the critical social skills necessary to be successful learners in group settings. Skills taught include joint attention, attending to a structured activity, and socializing in a group. Each lesson is designed around the central theme of literacy, thus also creating an opportunity to practice and generalize skills learned in 1:1 or direct instruction sessions.
Sunshine Literacy kit includes:
-
Ten comprehensive lesson plans which detail out all steps of the lesson and a quick start which provides simple instructions for peer tutors or volunteers
-
Pre-made materials or instructions for simple supplemental items to create
-
Fun and motivating materials such as fishing poles, game boards, magnet letters, stencils and many more items
-
448 flash cards that come in 4 card sets (photo cards, words, and letters)
-
Visual sequence strips detailing the steps of the activity
-
A comprehensive data sheet to collect data on a variety of skills during the implementation of each lesson
-
A comprehensive teacher's manual
Each lesson targets a wide range of skill levels to ensure that all students are capable of meaningful participation in the activity. The lessons describe additional activities for the beginning, mid-level and advanced learner.
The lesson plans are printed on individual file folders designed to be used during the activity to guide the teaching process. The lessons are formatted to provide consistent instructional strategies
