Best-selling, award-winning authors Pam Schiller and Clarissa Willis have teamed up to create this collection of 100 literacy lessons, designed to introduce children ages 3-6 to a variety of literacy concepts and build important literacy skills. Each of these simple, fun lessons offers adaptations for children with special needs, including:

• Visual impairments
• Hearing impairments
• Cognitive challenges
• Motor delays
• Speech/language delays
• Emotional/behavior issues

The first page of each two-page lesson features a learning objective, a literacy activity, extension activities, a daily reflection, and vocabulary. The second page has adaptations specific to the literacy lesson for children with special needs.

A great grab-and-use book for preschool teachers!</DIV>
