What I can say when ... an Instruction is too Long

A simple printable support sheet to help children know what to say when an instruction feels too long, confusing or difficult to hold in mind.

The poster gives children/teenagers practical phrases they can use to ask for repetition, clarification, smaller steps or a little more time. It is designed to support children who may find language processing, listening or following multi-step instructions difficult, particularly in busy classroom situations.

Print it at home and keep it somewhere easy to reach, such as in a school bag, homework folder, pencil case or pocket!

A useful little tool for helping children become more confident asking for the support they need.
