Eating Food Keeps me Safe and Healthy Social Story Curriculum

Eating Food Keeps Me Safe and Healthy is an English social story about food and putting nonfood objects in the mouth. The 2014 story names glass, rocks, dirt, and trash, introduces chewy items, and includes an adult-request sentence, a numbered recap, and teaching guidance.

Publisher identified in the materials: Special Learning.

Material context: Story page 3 includes a sentence about loud surroundings alongside the nonfood-mouthing text, so the sequence contains an abrupt change of topic.

The story moves from food and vitamins to teeth and nonfood objects, then introduces chewy tubes and chewy necklaces before describing asking an adult. Its first-person text includes examples involving glass, rocks, dirt, and trash.

A numbered recap restates the nine story points. The accompanying 2013 instructional booklet describes story review, coloring-page sequencing, rule-card use, quizzes, and role play.
