Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters Offerings


For students with multiple disabilities, the process of learning to read rarely progresses rapidly and typically requires intensive systematic interventions.  Students can “get stuck” when the available materials only support reading to the student.  They may listen to text for enjoyment and gain information from listening, but they are not able to read new text independently. This clearly limits students' ability to learn literacy skills.

The opportunity to read appropriately leveled materials is essential to early reading success. What kind of an impact would materials that are not only age-appropriate and engaging for students, but that also fit their literacy skill level make for your struggling readers?

Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters can help you move your students into early literacy

By strategically combining three text types and built in computer supports, Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters provide beginning readers with meaningful reading experiences that will increase their motivation to read while building their skills.

  • Age-appropriate and engaging materials
  • Electronic text to meet accessibility issues
