Plants in Their Habitats: Theme Sets

9781426351822. Four different books, at different reading levels, describe four different habitats where plants live: tropical rain forests, deserts, temperate forests and wetlands. While each book focuses on the types of plants that live in each habitat and what they need to survive, the same key concepts are developed across the books to help students focus on the big ideas. The theme explores how the parts of a plant help it to survive, how plants adapt to their habitats, and how plants and animals depend on each other. Students use the specific content and vocabulary within each book to discuss and examine the key concepts. Reading levels vary from Fry 2.6 to 6.2. The four titles in this kit are: "Tropical Rainforests", "Deserts". "Temperate Rainforests" and "Wetlands".

Practical Mathematics for Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Developmental Delays : (LSS)

Jo Adkins and Sue Larkey

It is a common misconception that children on the autism spectrum find mathematics easy. In fact the opposite is true for some, and exposure to basic mathematics in the early years can be crucial in establishing the foundations for understanding later in life. This book provides practical strategies and tools for teaching key mathematics concepts to children with an autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. The authors emphasize the importance of incorporating a child's special interest into learning in order to help them engage fully with new concepts. Topics covered include colours, shapes, categories, numerals, sequencing, addition and subtraction, and using money. The book includes worksheets and activities or incorporating mathematics into daily living skills.
