The series “The Guides” is born from the experience of the Erickson Study Centre with the goal of providing teachers with a series of complete volumes regarding the fundamental aspects of the various forms of Special Educational Needs present in our schools.
Thanks to its theoretical-functional layout, the Guide to Facilitate and Simplify Text Books provides useful information for how to make the subject textbook a real reference tool for collaborative learning in class, with the help of a rich set of practical examples, strategies and models of adaptations from different text typologies that teachers can use within the different classroom contexts in which they work.
The volume is divided into two sections that guide the reader through the different phases that characterize the students’ work:
In every chapter, you will find:
–a concept map that gives an organized overview of the contents
-insights from scientific research
-tips on classroom instruction
