5 adapted questions + complete answer key, involving association between animals and foods, construction of food chains, identification of living beings, classification within the food chain, and recognition of decomposers.

Target Audience:
Students in the literacy process, Elementary School (Early and Middle Years), Youth and Adult Education (EJA), and Specialized Educational Support (AEE).
Especially recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and difficulties in reading and interpretation.

Important for the teacher:
This material was developed as a practical activity with questions and can be used as:
✔ content introduction
✔ learning reinforcement
✔ adapted assessment

Key Features:

✅ Teaches feeding relationships in a concrete and visual way (who eats whom).
✅ Direct association activity (animal → food), facilitating initial understanding.
✅ Construction of simple food chains (e.g., grass → zebra → lion).
✅ Sequence completion activities, developing logical reasoning.
✅ Identification of herbivores (animals that eat plants).
✅ Classification within the food chain (producer, consumer, and predator).
✅ Introduces decomposers (fungi and bacteria) in an accessible way.
✅ Progressive teaching sequence: observe → associate → complete → classify.
✅ Strong visual support that reduces the need for advanced reading skills.
✅ Integrates Science + literacy (word recognition and association).
✅ Can be used in regular classrooms, AEE, or individual support.
✅ Ready-to-use adapted assessment.
✅ Saves 4h15min of teacher planning time.
