Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills to Students With Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Special Needs

This book features 169 reproducible activities that provide opportunities for active learning and student practice in the learning strategies and study skills most important for students with special needs. Teaching students with special needs to use learning strategies and study skills effectively is an important step in transforming these students into independent learners. In addition to the reproducible activities themselves, each chapter in this text contains suggestions for using the activities, mastery assessment, and an answer key. As a valuable bonus, a FREE trial version of a computerized assessment called 3S-SE3 (Learning Strategies and Study SKills-Special Edition) is included with every copy of the text. 3S-SE3 assesses the skills and strategies taught in this book, and this trial version can be used to identify students' strengths and weaknesses in their use of important study skills and strategies. The trial version is in a CD-ROM format that can be used for both Windows and Macintosh and can be administered to five students. (Note: A version that can be administered an unlimited number of times may be purchased directly from the authors.)Strichart, Stephen S. is the author of 'Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills to Students With Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Special Needs', published 2001 under ISBN 9780205335138 and ISBN 0205335136.
