Have you ever wanted to read a book to your special education students but thought there was no way they would sit and listen? Persevere, it is worth it!!

I was always reading to my students, regardless of their learning level. The lesson of learning to sit while someone is talking is an invaluable skill that is worthwhile teaching.

⭐ PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE BOOK.⭐

Many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

There are 5 activities, one to do each day. You will read the book every day for a week.

Activities Include: 

• Vocabulary board
• Circle maps
• Sorting activities
• Matching activities
• Word maps
• Writing prompts
• and more….

*****************************************************************************

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to assimilate what is being taught fully. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
