Why Use a Social Story for Recess?

Children may need extra support understanding where to play and where to stay during recess. Reading the story before recess gives children an opportunity to practice expectations when they are calm and ready to learn. Use the visuals, sticker chart, and positive reinforcement together to provide consistent reminders and celebrate successful recess behaviors.

All Positively Prepared stories are written using positive language and simple illustrations/words to reduce visual clutter and increase understanding.
