It is only recently that literacy for students with significant disabilities has become a priority. In fact, there are still many teachers, especially at the secondary level, who do not provide literacy instruction for their students. Many teachers at the secondary level do not know how to provide access to grade appropriate literature for their students with significant disabilities; others do not see literacy as a priority for their students. This module will provide you with a set of steps that can be generalized across content areas and across grade levels. Why teach literacy? To allow students with significant disabilities access to age and grade appropriate reading materials To systematically engage these students in meaningful literacy activities To allow students with significant disabilities the opportunity to experience some of the same rich reading experiences as their typically developing peers LITERACY IS A FUNCTIONAL SKILL!
