A Substitute Teacher Day
My teacher is away and a substitute comes. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Some days my teacher cannot come to school. A substitute teacher comes instead.
2. My teacher might be sick or busy. My teacher is okay and will come back.
3. The substitute might say things differently. The classroom rules stay the same.
4. The substitute might not know our usual routine.
What could happen next? The substitute follows my teacher's plan. We do something a little different. A classmate explains our routine. We don't know yet — and that's okay. 💡 A substitute day may go many ways. I can be flexible, and I can ask questions when I need to.
5. If something feels confusing, I can raise my hand and ask. The substitute wants to help me.
6. At the end of the day, I go home like always. Soon my teacher comes back. The substitute day is over, and I handled it.

Sovelo Stories are original social narratives, written for neurodivergent kids and reviewed against strict guardrails: no eye-contact training, no masking, no mind-reading — and "no" is always a complete answer. Evidence-informed preparation, not a treatment. © Ezra Brown.
