[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 171811, member: 1991"] Good idea, SRL. There used to be a book series called "Let's Talk About..." and each book dealt with a different issue, such as "Let's Talk About Sharing", or "Let's Talk About Bullying". Here is a link to Amazon: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Talk-About-Being-Helpful/dp/0590623850"]Amazon.com: Let's Talk About Being Helpful (Let's Talk About): Joy Wilt Berry, Maggie Smith: Books[/ame] difficult child 3 found a stack of these books at our church, in the back of a cupboard. He read them over and over, almost memorised them. While not strictly social stories, they actually were in a style which worked better for him because they didn't have that feeling to them of "You just did the wrong thing so now you have to read a story about it." The other really good thing - the more he read, the better his language skills became. Even if a kid isn't reading well, having someone read to them is really helpful in so many ways. It helps with social interaction, it provides a quiet together time, it helps the child with their reading skills if they're also looking at the page as you're reading - so many things on top of the message of each book itself. YOur daughter has a lot of stuff you're not going to be able to fix - not at the moment. But if you can help her with what she CAN learn, it's a big start. Marg [/QUOTE]
