Best-selling, award-winning authors Pam Schiller and Clarissa Willis have teamed up to create this collection of 100 literacy lessons, designed to introduce children ages 3-6 to a variety of literacy concepts and build important literacy skills. Each of these simple, fun lessons offers adaptations for children with special needs, including:
- Visual impairments
- Hearing impairments
- Cognitive challenges
- Motor delays
- Speech/language delays
- Emotional/behavior issues
The first page of each two-page lesson features a learning objective, a literacy activity, extension activities, a daily reflection, and vocabulary. The second page has adaptations specific to the literacy lesson for children with special needs.
A great grab-and-use book for preschool teachers!

Well organized - very good information for making modifications for children with special needs. Lots of hands-on activities, and great lists of supporting books at the end of each section."
