Teaching The Classics In The Inclusive Classroom: Reader Response Activities To Engage All Learners

Everything special education and English teachers need to support kids at all levels

This book presents different types of activities teachers can use when introducing the classics to varied learners-pre-reading, "during reading," and "after reading" activities that strengthen reading comprehension, along with exercises specifically designed to reinforce vocabulary skills. It shows how to help students of all ability levels personally relate to the characters, themes, and settings in canonical literature. The authors offer practical strategies that have worked equally well with inclusion students in urban schools and in middle-class suburban settings.
