Get students ready to order food on their own with this free reading a menu life skills sample! Students read a realistic, age-respectful fast-food menu with clear pictures, then answer leveled questions: Level 1 (find items and prices with picture supports), Level 2 (add two prices, find a difference and decide "Do I have enough money?") and Level 3 (8% tax, combo vs. separate and staying within a budget). An IEP data sheet makes progress monitoring easy.

How to use it
Use it in life skills, special education, transition or functional math classes. Students at different levels can share the same menu while working on their own level's page. Use the data sheet to record IEP progress, and use the menu to plan orders before a community-based instruction trip. Print and go.
