Literacy Activities Handbook - Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres

Some Ideas:

The calendar should be clearly displayed.
The learner could have a smaller version of the calendar for home use and practice.
Daily oral practice (date, days of week, months of year, ordinal numbers, numbers, etc.) can be effective.
The days of the week, numbers (1-31), and month names can be placed on cards. The learner can put them in the correct order. The correct date can be made using a card from each stack.

Month names: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

A “Calendar Worksheet” is provided in Section 10. It can be photocopied and filled in each month. It can also be used as the basis for calendar exercises. For example, the learner can fill in the numbers on the calendar grid. Alternatively, the tutor can fill in only a few numbers, so that the learner can fill in the blanks.

A “Daytime Schedule Worksheet” is also provided in Section 10. It can be used for planning activities during a particular day.
