Grade 3 and Up
Haugen, Janie

This collection of worksheets, developed by PCI's Janie Haugen-McLane, gives individuals written practice in
learning the functional meaning of important signage at home, at work, and in the community. The easy-to-follow
worksheets feature large, detailed illustrations of the signs to help participants with limited reading skills.
The 200 reproducible blackline masters are a perfect "hands-on" complement to the entire Survival Signs
Curriculum, sold separately. Effective with students of all ages, the worksheet format helps visual learners, and
those with limited reading and/or comprehension skills, learn to recognize the picture symbols and the written
words on signs.
Divided into two tabbed sections, the sturdy three-ring binder contains the worksheets that cover the signs in
groups of five. As participants become familiar with the first group, additional signs are added to the worksheet
program. After 10 signs have been covered, review worksheets mix the survival signs for more challenging
practice. This process is continued until all 80 signs have been taught and reviewed.
The worksheet formats help participants learn to recognize both the international symbols and/or the written
words on the survival signs. Participants are asked to perform tasks such as Match the Sign, Circle the Sign,
Circle the Word, and Complete the Sign. Focusing on the picture symbols helps visual learners and individuals
with little or no reading skills understand the meaning of signs when in the community.
Complete instructions on "Getting Started" take teachers through a simple step-by-step process for getting the
most out of the materials. An Answer Key is also included.
