When to use social stories for kindergarteners

Pick the story for the moment that is hardest right now, and read it at a calm time a day or two before that moment usually comes: the week before school starts, before a playdate, a move or a new drop-off routine, or on a quiet morning after a hard week. Keep the others ready for the next sticking point, and never read one in the middle of the moment it is about.

How to use these social stories

1. Start with one story, the one for the moment that is hardest this week.
2. Choose the gentle wording first; switch to the direct one if your child does best with a plain rule.
3. Print the child look that matches your child, and write their name on each cover.
4. Read one page at a time, pointing to the picture before you read the sentence.
5. Reread the same story for a week or two before adding the next one.

Social stories for kindergarteners questions

What are social stories for kindergarteners?

Social stories for kindergarteners are short illustrated stories, in the approach developed by Carol Gray, that describe an everyday moment from a young child's point of view and offer a calm way through it. Read at a quiet time, they make a new routine or a hard moment familiar before it happens.

Which stories are in this pack?

All 15 stories from the four sets: sharing, sleeping in their own bed, using a quiet voice and trying new foods; staying with their grown-up, asking for help, body safety and safe grown-ups; angry feelings, losing a game, asking before taking and telling the truth; recess, moving house and saying goodbye at drop-off.

Is the pack cheaper than the sets or the single stories?

Yes. Each story also sells on its own for $3, so all 15 would cost $45, and the four themed sets together cost $32; this pack is $27. It holds the same stories as the single packs, in one file per child look, with one guide that covers every story and wording.

Are these only for kindergarten?

No. They suit preschool through second grade, at home or in a classroom. These social stories for kindergarteners are gathered around that first school year because it brings the most new moments at once: a new routine, sharing with a class, recess, big feelings and goodbyes at drop-off.

What formats and paper sizes are included?

One ZIP with print-ready PDFs in US Letter and A4: all 15 stories in four child looks, each in wide and tall booklet pages and in both wordings, 30 booklets in all, plus blank write-in booklets and the guide. Print at actual size, cut each sheet in half, stack the pages and staple.

How do I receive the files, and can I use them with my whole class?

Delivery is instant: checkout unlocks the download and emails you the link, and the pack stays in your My Resources library. It is licensed for personal and single-classroom use. Because it is a digital download, all sales are final; if a file will not open, email info@spectrumunlocked.com and Spectrum Unlocked will fix it.
