A third grade teacher has two students with mild learning disabilities. She has decided to go to the library and get some books written at a first-grade level about police officers and firefighters, a topic covered in her social studies curriculum. Is this okay?
a. Yes, the teacher's goal is to have all students meet grade-level social studies standards. If the simple books help the students with disabilities meet the standards, they are appropriate. The teacher should still try to help these students develop to the point where they can read the grade-level textbook.
b. No. It would be far more effective to use a series of auditory experiences to help the students learn the social studies content. The children with disabilities can participate in discussions and sing songs – and, the teacher could write a poem about firefighters that the children could chant.
c. No. The teacher would be better off sticking with the social studies textbook – a good intervention would be to have the students with disabilities take the book home and read the chapter on police officers and firefighters with their parents.
d. Yes, as long as children with disabilities tell the teacher that they like the books.
