Printable: Sleeping In My Own Bed Social Story Curriculum

This English social story follows a child who sleeps in their own bed, with passages about room to move, feeling worried about sleeping alone and asking parents for another tuck-in after waking. A separate instructional guide describes reading, coloring, rule-card and role-play activities.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: The story assumes a household with separate beds for the child and siblings, and parents available for bedtime and nighttime tuck-ins.

The story introduces separate beds for the child, siblings and parents, then contrasts room to move with a crowded bed. It mentions a favorite doll or stuffed animal and a nightlight within the bedtime narrative.

Later passages describe parents tucking the child into their own bed and the child asking for another tuck-in after waking during the night. A companion version repeats the story and adds a numbered ten-point text summary.

The general instructional guide covers story sentence types, reading routines, reinforcement, coloring-page sequencing, social rule cards and role play. Its worked examples include greetings and shoe tying.
