The Exceptional Child Education (ECE) program of Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky, presents this language arts curriculum for use with K-12 students who have learning problems. The ECE program uses the curriculum and materials of the general education program whenever appropriate, but has access to special instructional techniques and materials as necessary. ECE programs concentrate on the development of those basic academic and daily living skills which will be needed for future employment and independent adult living. The curriculum emphasizes an oral/aural approach, as a large population of ECE students are handicapped readers. Major language arts objectives are listed in sequential order, and cover the areas of study skills, handwriting, composition, literature/media, and spelling. Major steps in the task analysis of each objective are listed, along with activities, materials, and resources for each step. An appended resource list encompasses books, cards, cassettes, duplicating masters, filmstrips, games, kits, and transparencies. (JDD)
