Kit is a curricular component of Attainment's Core Curriculum Solution: Secondary (grades 6-12). Curriculum is designed for students with moderate-to-severe disabilities who are working toward accessing middle and high school grade-level standards in English Language Arts. Addresses the needs of students who may be nonverbal, who are early symbol users, and those who may be reading text. The curriculum provides materials at three literacy levels: object/photo, concrete symbols, and text. Skill areas include persuasive writing, elements of story grammar, and research endeavors. The authors adapted 16 popular works (like Holes, Number the Stars, and Dragonwings) into simplified text with repeated story lines and symbol supports. Genres include fiction, nonfiction, plays, and poetry. The 32 progressive lessons are scripted & are organized into four theme-based units: Change, Values and Decision Making, Social Justice, and Global Awareness. In the software and app, students explore four works of nonfiction through a five-step instructional sequence: preview, vocabulary, read the book, comprehension questions, and story sequence. Kit includes: 2 Teacher's Guides; Implementation Guide; Right On Readers; Daily Writing Journal; Student Response Book; Assessment Response Book; Graphic Organizers; Script Cards; Card Set (350 cards representing vocabulary and elements of story grammar are provided for each unit); Electronic Files (a DVD includes all the reproducible material in the curriculum plus a Classroom License for printouts); Access Language Arts iPad App and Access Language Arts Software. | |
