Read It Once Again
Other early childhood curriculums may touch on beginning basic skills, but Read It Once Again uses rhyme, rhythm and repetition in our Level 1 units as a strategy to ensure that there is an intentional, extended focus on the most basic skills necessary for children with special needs to retain information. Research has proven that having a firm understanding of these basic essential skills is necessary to achieve educational success in higher academic learning.
Language skills are embedded into the activities found in the domains of Speech and Language, Cognitive, Motor, Daily Living, and Socialization. Read It once Again ensures that your child will be constantly immersed into a language rich environment.
Repetition is an important factor in the teaching strategies offered within the Read It Once Again curriculum units. Our Level 1 activities reinforce basic fundamental concepts and are systematically offered and repeated in a variety of literacy based lessons throughout every unit and in each domain. Young children learn best when the environment and teaching strategies are solidly predictable with elements of creativity and exploration woven into each day. Read It Once Again uniquely provides a flexible structure that promotes creativity and exploration.
Reading + Repetition = Language Development
Goals and objectives for activities provided in each domain of every unit are designed to fulfill the requirements of many Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) for children with special needs. This feature enhances the probability of mastering IEP goals and objectives.
Most of the concepts in our activities are offered in multiple levels of difficulty. This allows teachers to work on a particular skill individually or in a small group setting with children functioning at different levels. Every child has the opportunity to be successful which promotes a “can-do” attitude and fosters positive self-esteem.
