The blueprint for literacy instruction
This book has changed the landscape on teaching literacy. The authors discuss the necessary components of literacy instruction for our learners with complex learning profiles and provide the research behind each component. I have seen many districts use this book as a book study for professional learning. If you are working with learners with complex learning profiles, this belongs on your bookshelf!

Practical, Research Based, Inspiring
This book will inspire you – whether you are a parent, education, interventionist, therapist, or more – to not give up on literacy for children and adults with complex communication needs. Individuals with significant disabilities can gain more communicative control over their environment through literacy, and this book gives real examples and practical ways to explore and achieve literacy for all. We used the book’s suggestions and methods in therapy with children aged 4 – young adults and saw PROGRESS. Progress in spelling, progress in recognizing their names, and progress in using the keyboard on their AAC devices to find/spell words.

Contains strategies that a teacher can use in his or her classroom ASAP!
This book is VERY teacher friendly. I read it and have strategies that I will start to implement in my classroom ASAp. The book also explained the âwhyâ behind certain instructional recommendations. I feel equipped with research based strategies to improve my studentsâ education AND the ability to answer questions about the methods I will use. Thank you!

Erickson and Koppenhaver are truly experienced with students who are truly complex in their development and needs. They are the few who will address those who are emergent learners – those who are yet to be able to identify and recall letters, have print concepts and are learning to communicate. This book gives research based examples of how to structure repetition without becoming stale and what goals reading, writing lessons are appropriate for this group of students. Really worthy read for parents, carers and special ed teachers.
