"It Was Always the Pictures"

I thought this article was extremely enlightening especially for future teachers. We may have students with various disabilities in our classrooms, therefore we have to be prepared to teach those students. This article gives many examples of techniques to use for students with different disabilities.

I really like the idea of the story kits. It definitely helps those students who learn better through pictures. Graphic notes are also very interesting. It assists those students who have difficulty organizing their notes do so by incorporating pictures.

There was one part in the article in particular that I really thought was important. It was the line, "Knowing student interests can help teachers develop curriculum, instruction, and even better support strategies (Kluth, 178). I definitely think this quote is so true and important. It is even more important when you have students with learning disabilities in your class. You have to learn about students as individuals in order to teach them to where they are going to learn the maximum possible. For some students, using pictures is the best for their learning. Therefore, these examples are worthwhile.
