Co-Teaching Students with Mild to Moderate Disabilities Using Literature-Based Reading Instruction
Swicegood, Philip; Miller, Melinda
Texas Journal of Literacy Education, v3 n2 p69-80 Win 2015
Literacy instruction for students with mild to moderate special needs should include authentic literature. Literature-based reading instruction provides time for students to develop new knowledge and strategies in a supportive context. When reading instruction occurs in an inclusion classroom, it also allows time for general education and special education teachers to work together to intensify and individualize instruction for all students within the inclusion classroom. In this article, a systematic process for designing, implementing, and assessing instruction is presented.
