Kind Words
This blog is great, by a teacher who has found ways to help kids with autism read and understand. She is funny and creative and her tips are easy to follow. She’s a great writer too and you feel like you are there in her classroom.
--Tamar Cohen, Comment, http://autism.about.com/b/2009/03/16/best-autism-blogs-whats-your-vote.htmIf you’re at all interested in helping your students (at any level) make deeper connections to what they’re reading, Sara’s post (and blog) is a must read. We’ve just added her to our RSS reader. You should too.
