Students with disabilities need to be able to access age-appropriate literature. This increases reading interest, reading skills, and the understanding of literacy components required by the state standards. Students with disabilities do not have the same opportunities to access literature because their reading level is well below their peers. Story Based Literacy is an excellent way to provide your students with disabilities access to state standards and grade level texts.
This Story Based Literacy unit is a detailed novel study designed for students with moderate to severe disabilities. It aligns with Essential Elements standards and the Dynamic Learning Maps familiar texts for 3rd grade. You will need 20-30 minutes a day for Story Based Literacy.
