Supporting autism in KS3 English
Make an English task clearer
| Task | Support to discuss |
|---|---|
| Explain a character’s actions | Distinguish what the text says from what can be inferred |
| Analyse an image or phrase | Explore literal meaning, context and possible effects |
| Write for an audience | Identify who will read it and what the writing should do |
Start with the learner
Agree ways to respond
Some students prefer time to write before speaking; others think through conversation. Ask what helps rather than assuming.
Show the purpose
Use a clear example to explain the task. Identify what makes it effective without requiring the student to copy a model exactly.
Connect with interests
A relevant topic can provide a starting point for reading or writing, while gradually introducing a wider range of texts.
Frequently asked questions
Will lessons insist on one interpretation of a text?
A tutor can explore alternatives and ask which details support each view. The aim is to develop an evidenced response, not guess an unstated opinion.
Can we avoid unexpected reading aloud?
Discuss this beforehand. Agree how texts will be shared and how your child would like to participate, including any preparation time.
