Tactile Experience
Books
When meeting the
reading and writing standards for students with severe needs, it becomes
necessary to look at the key components of this standard:
-
attend to stimuli
connected to reading materials
-
attach meaning to
symbols
-
demonstrate
necessary reading behaviors
-
demonstrate
understanding of proper positioning of literacy materials
-
demonstrate
directionality of print
Tactile
Experience Books can be used to meet these key components.
These books contain actual artifacts from an experience or from an
everyday life event. Artifacts are incorporated onto the pages of a
sturdy book with simple, repetitive text accompanying the object.
Objects are attached to the pages with Velcro, so that the object can be
removed and matched to the page with the correct text. Artifacts can
easily be found at home, school, dollar stores, or discount stores. |
