Sometimes we need a little help, whether we’re just starting our journey or have difficulties along the way. That’s why SchoolhouseTeachers.com has teamed up with Judi Munday, a special needs educational consultant, to bring you a Special Needs course. Throughout the 19 lessons available, Judi explains how to write goals and choose curriculum, modify and adapt instruction, and teach reading to students with dyslexia. She also provides an explanation of how the brain processes information and discusses adaptive technology for those who struggle with learning. For those just beginning their journey, we have Pre-K Activities: Read and Play with Sarah Gilbert and Wendy Woerner. This class, listed under the Dailies tab, provides a reading selection for youngsters and a number of hands-on activities to reinforce learning. For example, after reading A Chair for My Mother by Vera B. Williams, children can choose from starting a coin jar, talking about fire safety, drawing a picture of a way they could help someone, or learning about money. Of course, if they want to do all of the activities, that is highly encouraged!
