Stone Soup Unit for Special Education PRINT AND DIGITAL

Stone Soup by Ann McGovern is the focus of this literacy unit for students with autism and special learning needs. This unit has 50+ pages and 22 google slides unit has various activities to accompany Ann McGovern’s book, Stone Soup. The materials are designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in lessons learned through reading Stone Soup. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the travels of a man who tricks a little old lady into making him a delicious pot of soup from a stone. This repetition encourages deeper engagement of the book. Finally, many of the Stone Soup activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation. There is also a picture recipe for making soup together as a class.

*****This unit now has digital versions of the printable activities. There are 22 google slides and a movie of the book read aloud.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. 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, we can ask students questions that will push them to think more deeply than before.
