Description
Send an Appropriate Text builds practical digital communication, social skills, and independent living skills for preteens and teens. Learners check the recipient, write a clear purpose, choose respectful words, review facts and privacy, use agreed contact times, and respect reply boundaries. Includes 54 sequential Boom Cards: 18 instructional cards, 12 multiple-choice questions, 6 true-or-false questions, and 18 three-picture questions with individually selectable answers and immediate feedback. Concrete scenarios include a supervisor contact check, a five-minute lateness update, a polite meeting request, correcting Tuesday to Thursday, scheduling a routine text for 9:00 AM, and waiting after one message. Practice contact information is fictional. Useful for Life Skills, Special Education, Autism support, functional communication, texting etiquette, digital citizenship, social boundaries, vocational readiness, and transition instruction. Diverse age-respectful cartoon artwork supports individual or teacher-guided practice. Original artwork created using OpenAI’s built-in image generator and reviewed for lesson alignment.
