Learning to Work
by Caroline Musselwhite, Laurel Richardson and Attainment Company
Engaging and age-appropriate reading material for adolescents and young adults who do not read conventionally
The 18 photo-illustrated stories are intended to be read with a partner – a same-age peer who is reading at grade level, a teacher, or a parent.
The work-themed stories feature a simple, consistent structure using repetitive phrases and sentences to help students focus on the text. Photos correspond closely to the stories’ content. The primary characters are people with disabilities shown in actual work settings:
- a medical facility
- a garden centre
- and a fast food restaurant
An activity page encourages readers to talk about their own experiences using a review-and-discuss format.
A comprehensive Instructor’s Guide is included as a PDF on the CD. The Guide describes the research-based framework and features additional activity pages.
Also on the CD is a PDF of the 18 stories, plus a Classroom Licence that lets you print out stories for each student.
By Dr. Caroline Musselwhite and Laurel Richardson. Spiral bound book in full colour, 248 pages, includes a Win/Mac CD with a Classroom Licence for printouts, 2009.
