Raising My Hand Social Story Curriculum

Raising My Hand contains an English classroom story organized around deciding, raising a hand, waiting and talking when called on. The accompanying materials include compact rule text, topic quizzes, an answer key, a token-board form and a general instructional guide.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: The compact extract repeats earlier wording beneath the Wait and Talk headings; the full story gives separate wording for those steps.

Raising My Hand presents an English classroom story with four named steps: Decide, Raise my hand, Wait and Talk. The narrative covers asking or answering a teacher's question, raising an arm straight up, waiting quietly and speaking after the teacher calls the student's name.

The topic-specific quiz booklet revisits those classroom situations in basic yes/no, fill-in-the-blank and matching activities and advanced fill-in-the-blank, true/false and multiple-choice exercises. It includes an answer key, a My Token Board form and directions for cutting out tokens.

The general instructional guide describes role play and story-page sequencing, alongside its discussions of reinforcement, token systems and maintaining social skills.
