Course Description
- An asynchronous Book Study for Erickson and Koppenhaver’s new book, Comprehensive Literacy for All: Teaching Students with Significant Disabilities to Read and Write can help us as educators to teach ALL students to read and write. In this book study, we will cover all 4 sections of the book-Core Understanding, Building a Foundation for Literacy, Learning to Read and Write and Implementation. After each chapter, we will have asynchronous group discussions and reflection questions via Canvas. This will be a community for open discussions, sharing ideas and asking questions. The course will take place on canvas and we will offer 2 virtual- Google Meets/ in person after Chapter 6 and Chapter 12 to discuss the book and share ideas. We encourage school teams to participate together, such the SSN teacher and related service providers. Each SSN program will receive 1 book for their SSN program. Personal copies of the book can be purchased from Amazon. CLICK here
