The only literacy and communication program uniquely designed to include assistive technology tools in each lesson.
MEville to WEville is an emergent literacy and communication program aligned to state, alternate, Common Core State Standards, Common Core Essential Elements, and NCSC Core Connectors. The program was developed for students with severe disabilities who need a starting place to develop emerging literacy skills. The appropriately paced lessons and assistive technology strategies were specifically incorporated into the curriculum to meet the unique needs of these students. An experiential approach to instruction in which each lesson provides instruction and experiences in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The literacy strategies within the program support interaction with text for learning concepts of print skills as students learn the purpose of words and illustrations and what they mean. In addition, lessons include strategies and practices taught in general education literacy classrooms, so students are engaging in similar types of literacy activities as their peers presented at their level of understanding.
