Everyone can go to circle and sit on their seat.

I can sit nicely and look at the teacher.

I can also listen with my ears and

try to do what the teacher says.

Sometimes it is hard for me to sit. But I can

look at my sit picture and try to remember
to sit, like all my friends, at my seat.

If I get up off my seat, it is hard for

my friends to see and have fun.

When we are in circle, I need to have

nice hands
and try to keep my hands to myself.

What do we do in circle?

Scripted Story Tip

Please note that you can use real
photographs with the line drawings for
children that need this level of support.
For instance, next to the line drawings,
you can glue or Velcro a photograph of
the class sitting nicely in circle, the
teacher talking/reading, the class
singing, the class dancing, the child
sitting, etc.

OR
Sit.

Glue on
photograph
of child
sitting.

Sit.

Cut out sit picture, laminate, place

rough Velcro on back side, and Velcro to
carpet in front of childs seat in circle.
This will act as a visual cue to the child.
The teacher can also pick up the picture
to show and cue the child to sit.
