Line Graphs for Special Education PRINT and DIGITAL

This unit on reading and drawing line graphs contains printable and digital material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism in elementary school.

Includes:

• Labeling parts of a graph
• Reading line graphs
• Drawing line graphs

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on understanding how to read and draw a bar graph. This repetition and scaffolding encourage a true understanding of the material.

See Preview for a detailed look at the contents.

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