| Book Review |
Is your school involved in inclusion or mainstreaming programs? If so, the new 96 page guide is a must. It has easy-to-use background materials about various disabilities, session plans and activities for primary and middle school children by Norma McPhee, plans and activities for pre-primary children by Paddy Favazza, Ed.D., PLUS special sensitizing experiences for leaders and non-disabled children by Eleanor Grater Lewis. A new story, Hide and Seek by Sheri Plucker has been added as well as new take-home pages to reproduce.
Whether Turtle Books are being used by an advocacy group, a parent group within the schools and classrooms, or by classroom teachers preparing children to receive a child who has a disability, the carefully prepared discussions, suggested activities and take-home sheets will increase the effectiveness of the program. The guide is also a valuable tool for parents who are attempting to help siblings understand a disability of a family member.
Though the new guide has seven read aloud stories, reproduceable pages and many activities, the guide is not intended to be a stand-alone item. It is designed for use with the Turtle Books series.
