I teach a special needs preschool class. The student’s ages range from three years old
to five years eight months old. There are a variety of disabilities included in
my class. Most of the students are
developmentally delayed. Developmentally they are egocentric and just beginning
to find out about the world outside of their family life. These students are learning: how to separate from their parents, beginning
social skills, and how to work with other adults. When teaching preschoolers I rely on picture
books with five or less sentences on each page.
This age of student is fairly easy to please with regard to the books
read to them and there is a great variety of appropriate books available to
read to them. When planning a lesson plan or unit plan I make sure to provide
hands-on activities, the students enjoy working on different projects. Books
written with rhythm, rhyme and repetition are the most motivational books for
this age student.
