My Project

My students are one of a kind and I want to give them a one of a kind love for books and language. I teach Autistic children ages 8 to 10. Some of them are learning to attend to stories and identify letters. Others are beginning readers and learning how to follow and retell stories.

The Lakeshore book set with connecting bins will provide my students with a beautiful classroom library to build on these skills and more.

Please help my special students to love and explore literacy every day.
