Visual Schedules for Preschool
Episode Summary
Schedules are an important way of life. They keep us in our daily routines and get us to the places we need to be.
In a preschool classroom, a daily schedule is the backbone to our day. At the beginning of the school year, I create our classroom schedule (using the 5 step method) and have it hanging up in the room. But, of course the young children in our classroom can't read it! I found that many of my students were asking 'what do we do next?', 'when can we go outside?' and 'when is my mom coming?'.
So, I knew it was time to create some visual supports for my little non-readers! Listen in to learn about a great resource to include in your classroom!
Topics Discussed:
- Creating a Picture Schedule for Little Learners
- The Benefits of Displaying Visual Schedule Cards
- Using Visual Classroom Schedules

How to Teach Classroom Procedures
How to Teach Classroom Procedures
Episode Summary
Our young learners aren't yet
readers. Therefore, posters of written rules, schedules and procedures
are null and void. To young children, these posters are just visual
noise.
But, pictures are a different story. Young children can 'read' pictures.
So when it comes to helping young children learn about routines in the classroom- visuals are the way to go.
I found a need for visual procedure
cards in my classroom several years ago, so I created them, implemented
them and I am so happy I did.
The benefits of procedure cards are
huge and I saw all of those benefits when I implemented them myself.
Plus, the visuals have kept me from having to say a routine procedure
over and over and over and over and... you get it!
Topics Discussed:
- The benefits of procedure cards
- How to use visual procedure cards
- Managing your own expectations when it comes to procedures
Resources Mentioned:
- Visual Procedure Cards:
- On TPT
- Buy in the LCPR Shop
