2.2 Review the schedule and refer to it throughout the day.
It is helpful to use a daily schedule that has real life photos of the events children will be transitioning to and from each day.- Some children may benefit from having an individual daily schedule that they can refer to on their own throughout the day.
Watch: "Transition - Schedule"
Watch: "Shelly Schedule"
- Inform children of schedule changes by re-arranging visuals, or use a stop sign to cover an activity that will not occur that day.
Watch: "Schedule"
- Create mini-schedules to guide the class through circle time, other activities, and/or transitions.
Watch: "Center Choices"
- Consider using a First/Then board to communicate a sequence of events or to reinforce completion of a non preferred activity.
Read: "How to make a first/then board"
- Use choice visuals within an activity (e.g. song, finger play, puppets, centers) to let children choose activity or activity sequence.
