Prepositions
Prepositions are words which show the relationship between a noun (e.g. "cat") or a pronoun (e.g. "she") and other words in the sentence. For example, "My cat is on the table", "I went with Mike to the cinema". Prepositions can indicate relationships in time and position as well as other types of relationships. Information about prepositions (about.com).
Smiley face group progress sheet
Neil Thompson
Quick therapy/lesson evaluation sheet - using a rating scale of four smiley faces.
The idea is for the child/person to evaluate themselves in terms of how well they were able to do the activity. This helps the person running the activity to select harder or easier activities as time progresses - keeping them at a level where there is generally a high degree of success.
