Books Belong to their Readers

We need to be able to read, or at least to recognize certain site words for almost any activity we complete on a daily basis. From grocery shopping, to driving, to finding a show to watch via the T.V. guide, our students will need to learn to read. We need to have a smooth transition from learning to read, to read to learn. Teachers need to consider this when making IEP goals. However, learning to read, or even learning to become a great reader, is often among the most difficult of lessons for student with disabilities. Though, it doesn't have to be, books are here for everyone to enjoy. As teacher's we cannot let the books outsmart our students, instead we need to teach then to conquer reading.


Create picture cards with the corresponding words from the text.


Textures and smells are some of the greatest impressions left on our memories. Incorporate these strategies into you reading lessons.


When you have a book that has a plot, or goes in a series of steps, or chronological order, create an activity with manipulates to engage the reader.
