This material is designed to help autistic children improve their reading comprehension and social skills through the story “The King of Hugs.” The story follows Tomás, a young boy known for his love of hugs, who learns the importance of respecting others’ personal space. As Tomás grows older, he discovers that not everyone is comfortable with hugs, and with his mother’s help, he learns to ask for permission before hugging and to show affection in other ways. The reading includes comprehension questions to reinforce learning and help children reflect on different aspects of the story. Additionally, role-playing games are provided to allow children to practice real social situations, such as asking for permission to hug, showing support without hugging, creating a safe space to share feelings, and using different ways to greet and say goodbye. These exercises help children develop empathy, respect personal space, and understand and accept the different ways people express affection.
