Read It Once Again curriculum units and teaching strategies are especially effective for children with autism.

Repeating stories and foundational concepts in a predictable and systematic format help those who struggle with processing receptive and using expressive language.  Read It Once Again uses the power of repetition to facilitate skills necessary to organize and process language concepts.  The engaging teaching strategy provides a language-rich environment where the child will gain confidence and the ability to improve both receptive and expressive language skills.

Our Level 1 activities reinforce basic foundational concepts and are consistently offered throughout every unit, in the domains of:

• Speech and Language
• Cognitive
• Gross and Fine Motor
• Daily Living
• Socialization

Read It Once Again ensures that your child will be constantly immersed in a language-rich environment.

Goals with appropriate activities are provided in each domain of every unit and designed to fulfill the requirements of the majority of Individual Educational Plans (IEPs).  The consistency of providing foundational skills in every unit increases the probability of mastering IEP goals.

Most of the concepts in our activities are offered in multiple levels of difficulty.  This allows teachers to work on a particular skill individually or in small group settings with children functioning at different levels.  Every child has the opportunity to be successful, which promotes an “I can do” attitude.  This fosters the child’s self-esteem and diminishes fear and anxiety associated with being introduced to new concepts.

Read It Once Again literary units are presented in a format which encourages teachers, therapists, and parents to easily share the content of the curriculum.  The storybook, the unit, its goals, and related activities are found in each domain, and become the common factors which unite professionals to intertwine and overlap services.  Therapists can easily provide push-in services in the classroom, which benefit teachers and, most importantly, the children. 

Read It Once Again’s Curriculum-Based assessment is a simple way to administer a screening based on the 20 Level 1 Foundational skills that are featured in every Level 1 unit.

Assessment screenings can be administered at any time to assess the progress of your student, guide instruction and help to establish appropriate IEP goals.  The Curriculum-Based Assessment recording booklet can be used by teachers and therapists as an effective tool to complete your student’s progress

portfolio and provide a positive avenue to communicate with parents about their child’s IEP goals and suggestions for parent involvement. Shop our Curriculum-Based Assessment today.

Notice that the storybook titles are not listed in alphabetical order.  They are listed according to the number of nouns and verbs found within each story.  Verbs are more difficult for young children who are just beginning to acquire receptive and expressive language, so the books with the least number of verbs are listed at the top of the list.  After identifying the number of nouns and verbs, the next set of boxes contain the most common skills that are addressed within the story.  If you are working with young or nonverbal children, we suggest choosing stories and units found on the top of the matrix.

You will also want to consider the storybooks highlighted in yellow.  The text in these stories often rhymes and contains short phrases that are consistently repeated throughout the story.  This type of writing promotes a style of reading that engages the child and helps to increase attention span while at the same time encouraging them to experiment with their own expressive speech.

We suggest using Level 1 units for young children first entering the program to ensure that your children have solidly mastered the most basic foundational skills.  Click here for more information about how to choose “Which Units are Right for My Students.”  Read It Once Again offers units for 31 different storybook titles.  This ensures teachers will have a three-year rotation of units so that children who stay with your program for three years do not need to repeat a story or unit.
