We believe that EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN!
Our literacy program is based upon the work of Dr.Karen Erickson, Dr. David Koppenhaver and Dr. Carolyn Musselwhite. Their work is focused on literacy instruction for students with significant disabilities. We implement the 4 Blocks of Literacy that includes Working With Words, Writing, Guided Reading and Independent Reading on a daily basis. If students are using assistive technology for communication the use of their device is threaded throughout our instruction.
Giving students the skills to communicate to the best of their abilities either using a device or writing is the best gift that we can give our students. These skills require a strong literacy program to teach these skills. If you have any questions regarding the strategies that we use to support our students in this area please contact Mrs. Perrotta to discuss further.
"Literacy is a life skill!"
