I am looking for recommendations for a reading program to use with students who are in primary grades and are intellectually disabled. Currently I have reading mastery but they don't offer a lot of practice materials. I do not want a sight word program. What has worked for you?
Folks: My research suggests that simply teaching kids to handwrite the whole alphabet in 40 seconds would abolish "dyslexia", and my email address is [email removed]

I am gaining a student who has autism in the fall. He cannot write full sentences to answer questions. He does not speak in partial or full sentences, so it is no surprise to me that he cannot write in full sentences. He can verbally come up with nouns like "shirt ... blue" in response to a picture. I am familiar with ABA and such practices to teach these kiddos, unfortunately they seem to never make enough progress to work the programs and those that do, well, teachers and SLPs tend to pull support too soon.
So, I am wondering if anybody out there has had any specific success with them and what methods were used. I may not be able to have him re-assigned and if that happens, I want to put a good curriculum together for a TA to work with him.
Thanks so much for your help.

I have had a very busy year, learning and teaching a brand new curriculum in my self- contained Low Incidence Intellectual Disabilities classroom. My district is using Unique Learning Systems in all of the self-contained classrooms. After an initial learning curve, my kiddos did very well. Four of my six students are at Level 2 of the curriculum. Today I had the story up on the Smartboard and was reading it to them. I'd stop and ask yes/no questions as my students are all nonverbal. At the end of the story there are 5 comprehension questions. I usually us the Level 1 questions which have picture symbols with the words, as do the answers. Today I used the Level 2 questions. All 5 questions are on the same page. The questions do not have picture symbols, but the answers do. I decided to see if my students were able to read the questions, so told them to "read this". I gave them a pointer to use to point to the answers and drag them to the correct box. All four students got all 5 questions correct. They are reading!!!! I am so excited for them. Next year's teachers will love having them.
About next year, I am retiring after teaching special education for 37 years. 36 years have been in "severe/profound". I am going to miss teaching every day, but will not miss the paperwork and all the new general ed initiatives that I am required to do with my students. I will not miss parents who do not follow through on requests, justify their children's behaviors with "but he's special", and directing grown adults to do their jobs all day. I plan on subbing in the self-contained elementary classrooms and at the separate special ed school. The Director of Special Ed is keeping my ULS account open so I can access the lessons in whatever classroom I'm subbing. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my life. I may be back once in awhile. Kathy

Does anyone have any suggestions for a reading program that can be used with a nonverbal student. Thanks Carrie
