SETC Book Study COMPREHENSIVE LITERACY FOR ALL: Teaching Students with Significant Disabilities to Read and Write

Book description: Literacy improves lives–and with the right instruction and support, all students can learn to read and write. As the authors state early in this book "We believe that all children can learn to read and write. Not just those who can see or hear or walk or talk or who have intelligence perceived to be at an acceptable level for learning. As such we are not excluding any student with significant disabilities from the focus of this book." (pg. xvii) This is the core belief behind this teacher-friendly handbook, your practical guide to providing comprehensive, high-quality literacy instruction to students with significant disabilities. Drawing on decades of classroom experience, the authors present their own innovative model for teaching students with a wide range of significant disabilities to read and write print in grades preK-12 and beyond. Foundational teaching principles blend with concrete strategies, step-by-step guidance, and specific activities, making this book a complete blueprint for helping students acquire critical literacy skills they’ll use inside and outside the classroom.
