These students were, in the past, not typical candidates for a formal literacy program. Using technology, the students are learning letters, sight words, and basic grammar skills. The literacy program that this class is currently using can be applied to students with or without visual impairments. The presentation will include a power point presentation in conjunction with a demonstration of some of the technology and resources used in the classroom. Attendees will be provided with an extensive list of ideas for teaching literacy skills to students with multiple impairments.
Students currently use a variety of resources to develop literacy skills.
A portable card reader has also been incorporated into the curriculum to read vocabulary words, learn new vowel sounds. These programs allow students the satisfaction of writing sentences right from the beginning of implementing the program. High-interest, low vocabulary resources are used in the literacy program and a comprehensive list will be provided to all attendees. All information presented is adaptable to suit a wide range of student abilities and curriculum goals. Saddleback 3505 Cadillac Avenue, Bldg.
