Brushing my Teeth Social Story

Description

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with brushing their teeth. A lot of children struggle with brushing their teeth, it may cause them anxiety and they may not even understand why they are brushing their teeth. Hopefully, this social story will help encourage your students to brush their teeth, and also help promote independence.

Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale.

Pages included are;
♦ It is important to keep my teeth clean.
♦ I should brush my teeth in the morning.
♦ And I should brush my teeth in the night.
♦ Brushing my teeth helps to keep my mouth fresh and clean.
♦ When my teeth are dirty, I heed to brush them.
♦ First, I get my toothbrush.
♦ Next, I wet my toothbrush.
♦ Then, I get my toothpaste.
♦ I carefully put my toothpaste on my toothbrush.
♦ Then I use my toothbrush to brush all my teeth.
♦ I have to be very careful and clean them properly or I’ll get bad teeth!
♦ I can use floss to make my teeth extra clean!
♦ Once I’ve finished, I rinse my toothbrush under the tap.
♦ Look how clean my teeth are!
♦ The dentist will be very happy with my teeth!

I recommend printing out each of the individual pages, laminating them and then binding them into a book so it will be easier for students to read – or be read to, as well as being stronger and longer lasting. You can use only the pages that you feel most relevant.
