Summary:
Effective Literacy Instruction for Learners with Complex Support Needs provides critical information on effective literacy instruction with a multitude of practical examples. Since publication of the first edition in 2007, there has been an upsurge in research on literacy instruction for ages K-12. Because practice in the classroom does not always reflect this new knowledge, Copeland and Keefe have updated this reference to be applicable to students with a variety of disabilities, including autism, intellectual disabilities, and multiple disabilities requiring complex support needs. New to this edition is content on literacy as a human right, combining literacy and the arts, and literacy opportunities in the community for learners beyond K-12.
