Live Session:

“How in the world can my high school student who is non-speaking, has CVI and significant physical disabilities, possibly benefit from reading Shakespeare?” You would be amazed at what is possible when you provide all students access to age-respectful and rich literature. Building background knowledge and student connections to text – these are essential components to comprehensive literacy instruction, especially for our most complex learners. This webinar will demonstrate how our school promoted student connections to Readtopia’s Romeo and Juliet, and had a blast every step of the way!
