This material is designed for autistic children and youth and combines a clear, predictable story (“Deryk in Spain”) with specific supports to strengthen reading comprehension and social skills. It includes leveled questions (literal, inferential, and opinion) with ample space to answer, concrete vocabulary, and modeled examples that reduce ambiguity. The scenes are accompanied by prompts to create short, in-the-moment dialogues (at the museum, in the park, in the restaurant), which helps connect the text to real experiences. In addition, the three proposed role-play activities let learners practice what they read (making a new friend, trying new foods, and reflecting on an outing), encouraging the generalization of skills such as asking, inviting, expressing preferences, and talking about emotions. It is recommended to read with pauses, use visual supports, and repeat brief, positive instructions to promote autonomy, joint attention, and enjoyment of reading.
