Pro-ed SPARC-Stimulus Pictures for Assessment, Remediation, and Carryover

Ages: 4-8
Grades: PreK-3

This program helps students learn basic routines and develop narrative language skills. The familiar content and lesson structure help them transition to the language and stories of the classroom.

Busy clinicians rely on the Stimulus Pictures for Assessment, Remediation, and Carryover (SPARC) series for:

loads of organized pictures and practice opportunities
convenience and portability
systematic progression of stimuli
use with a variety of treatment needs
The book includes 80 2-page lessons. Each lesson centers on a three- or four-step familiar routine presented in pictures. A corresponding lesson page provides:

questions to activate prior knowledge
questions to help students sequence and retell the routine and the story
the basic routine and story without questions
The basic routines are based on children's typical experiences and knowledge in the themes of:

Routines at Home – baking cookies, blowing up a balloon, feeding a dog, making a bowl of cereal, and more
Routines in the Community – buying an ice cream cone, getting a haircut, going to a parade, going on a picnic, and more
Routines at School – answering questions, buying lunch at school, practicing a fire drill, checking out a book, and more
Use the lessons to directly teach routines to students. They can also be used to assess and teach comprehension and to encourage oral retelling of common experience stories.
