PCI Survival Signs Curriculum
LR11303  

A perfect teaching tool for the inclusive classroom, the guide includes discussion activities and charts for the teacher to record the various places in the community where each sign is located. Students who are nonreaders or who have limited reading skills can rely on visuals on the survival signs to determine each sign's meaning. The overall purpose of the program is to prepare students of all abilities to follow the directions on common community survival signs. This method allows many students to travel safely in the community.

Binder & 80 Signs: Complete Program

• Teacher's Binder: a sturdy three-ring binder contains a two-page teaching guide for each of the 40 outdoor and 40 indoor survival signs. The Guide also includes discussion activities and a reproducible Community Trip Record Chart for the teacher to record the various places in the community where each sign is located.
• Survival Signs Posters: these 40 double-sided posters cover 80 common signs found both inside and on the outside of buildings such as schools, workplaces, stores, malls, office complexes, private homes, hospitals, and doctors' offices. PCI has authentically reproduced these signs to represent as closely as possible the actual signs found in the community. Many of the signs reflect the colors individuals need to know for safety reasons (e.g., red for danger, yellow for caution, etc.)

The 9" x 12" signs are printed on heavy card stock and are ideal for inclusive teaching settings and peer-buddy groups. They feature international graphic symbols to assist individuals who have limited reading skills in learning to identify them. They also make learning easier for visual learners. A reproducible Pre/Post Test Assessment is included with complete teacher instructions in each set.

Worksheets

• 200 reproducible blackline masters are a perfect “hands-on” complement to the entire Survival Signs Curriculum

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.



Activity Cards

• Card set includes a sturdy storage box and tabbed dividers
• 160 color cards designed to teach students how to recognize the international symbols and key words or phrases on 80 common signs located in the community. The 5" x 8" cards include level one and level two for each sign.

Teaches individuals:

• To recognize survival signs when both international symbols and words are shown
• To learn the definitions of the survival signs
• To recognize the survival signs when only the international symbols are shown
• To look for key words or phrases when survival signs are shown without the international symbols as a helper

Teacher’s Guide: includes instructions, two reproducible Assessment Tools (one for indoor and one for outdoor signs), and suggestions for independent study, small groups, and classroom settings. There is also a brief guide that provides sorting instructions for setting up the file box for the cards.
