Several weeks ago we were hosting a workshop for teachers of students with intellectual disabilities. Our workshop was focusing on literacy instruction and finding or creating good literacy resources for our students. We spent a lot of time on the Tar Heel Reader website and even created several books. But we also found several other websites which offered on-line books for students with intellectual disabilities. Our teachers particularly enjoyed the Browser Books website. The books featured great photographs and the reader could click on specific words if they needed help reading the text; otherwise the speech was silent. These books are leveled and geared more to the elementary population. Check it out if you are looking for some material for your students to read. Browser Books
