Months of the Year Days of the Week Printables Special Education Calendar Skills

Practice calendar skills, learning months of the year and days of the week with these 10 days of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism, and is perfect for back to school.

This unit addresses basic calendar skills using:

• months of the year printables
• days of the week printables
• holidays in each month
• order of the days
• order of the months
• making your own calendar/schedule

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on days of the week and months of the year. This repetition encourages a true understanding of time, days of the week, and months of the year.

Finally, there is a social story on having a daily schedule and dealing with changes in your schedule to help build more personal connections to the content.

****This unit now contains digital versions of the printable activities. There are 64 google slides and a movie version of each book.

See the preview for a detailed look at the contents.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students pay more attention to the content you present rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, we can ask students questions that will push them to think more deeply than before.
