Reflection

Paula Kluth discusses the education and children with disabilities. Children with disabilities have been excluded not only from general education classrooms in the past but also from meaningful literacy instruction as well. Children with disabilities are now gaining access to meaningful and appropriately challenging literacy experiences. Teachers are now changing and expanding strategies used in daily lessons. By altering the methods used before all children have access to education.
By incorporating more visual supports is another way teachers can meet the needs of a wider range of students. Paula Kluth conveys different methods and teaching strategies that can be used for students with or without disabilities and appeal to children that do not learn effectively in classrooms using traditional teaching strategies. There are more opportunities for teachers to develop lessons that reach all students. I would like to learn more about story kits and how to use them in the classroom.
