Prepare for Fire Drills with a Social Storybook!

Preparing young children for fire drills can be challenging, but using a social storybook makes it easier and more effective. These stories are simple, illustrated narratives that help kids understand what to expect and how to respond in specific situations—like a fire drill.

This printable resource features an easy-to-read social storybook for early readers. Using it as a reading resource, students can learn the steps they need to take, from lining up quietly to exiting the building safely while building their reading skills. Taking a calm, reading-based approach to school fire drills helps to reduce anxiety, build confidence, and ensure that students feel ready and prepared for fire drills, turning potentially scary experiences into something they can easily navigate.
