It’s not always easy to find Free quality resources for our students. Especially for those of us who teach students in underserved communities and students with disabilities. But what if I told you that your school could use a free nonprofit resource to support students with reading disabilities? What if this resource had everything that you needed to help students read, from access to textbooks to the most popular YA fiction? Enter Bookshare.![]()
Bookshare is an ebook library with almost 1 million books that are free to students with disabilities who qualify (it’s funded by the Office of Special Education Programs, so it’s quality). The best part: Bookshare has all kinds of supports to help students read better. Here are four ways teachers are using Bookshare in the classroom (get ready for some serious inspiration!). www.weareteachers.com/bookshare/?utm_content=1614560520&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbc...
