My students receive most of their instruction in a comprehensive development classroom due to their intellectual disabilities, in a public middle school. Our school serves grades 5 through 8, while my students are academically anywhere from grade 1 to 5. Library resources at our school are geared towards the 5-8 level, but my students, and some English language learning students, need reading materials to bridge the academic literacy gap between their current level and grade 5. Books are expensive, but last for a long time! Please help us!
