Description
Take social-cognitive practice to the next level. This digital Community Boom Deck is designed for students in Grades 4–5 (ages 9–11) who are ready to move beyond basic recognition of indirect requests. While younger students (Grades 1–3) may focus on noticing and imitating praised behaviors, older students are challenged to infer why an adult or peer uses an indirect request and how it connects to group needs, expectations, and motives. Aligned with Common Core ELA Standards and CASEL SEL competencies, this resource supports classroom instruction, counseling sessions, and speech-language therapy. Includes: - 10 school-based and home situations written for upper-elementary students. - Students choose answers or respond with emojis to reflect how they’d interpret each situation. - Hidden Tabs – Reveal literal meanings, hidden meanings, and social takeaways for guided inferencing practice. These are digital cards to be used through Boom Learning on a computer or tablet. Enjoy!
