| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book provides exciting new strategies for teaching literacy to children with special educational needs. Keeping the strengths of visual learners at the heart of each strategy, the author shares tried-and tested ways to develop key reading, writing, comprehension and communication skills. This book takes a fresh look at approaches to teaching literacy, presenting a wealth of innovative methods specifically designed to support visual learners, including those with autism spectrum conditions and special educational needs. Some children are more responsive to visual stimulation than spoken words, and this book shows how to engage these children in literacy lessons by using specialist strategies and using the latest assistive technology. Covering the key elements of teaching literacy, the book shows how to encourage reading, writing, and communication skills. There are tips for sharing stories with children who find it hard to sit still, supporting reluctant writers, enabling the pre-verbal child to answer questions and helping the child who never stops talking to develop listening skills. The strategies are supported by a CD-ROM of practical resources, examples and case studies, to show how they can instil in children the confidence to create and share their thoughts. This is a must-have resource for special education teachers, as well as speech and language therapists, looking for new strategies for teaching literacy. |
