Structured, Shared Reading

Shared Reading is an instructional activity during which teachers 1) encourage student communication, 2) demonstrate how books work, and 3) discuss important conceptual knowledge. This handout describes how to engage students with disabilities who have little experience with books and limited world knowledge in shared reading. Examples of communication messages for augmentative communication devices are provided in a format for sighted students and in a tactual format for students with deaf-blindness or other vision impairments.
