Scaffolded Stories
Learning to retell stories is a central goal of Timo Stories. Many children with autism and impaired language skills may not have the necessary vocabulary, background information or processing skills to understand children’s books and early readers.
Stories in Timo were written as “scaffolded stories” with very explicit information and support that is often provided supplementally by adults to help children better understand stories.
