Description
There is a growing practice of integrating high-risk children into the regular classroom to encourage collaboration among the children and teachers. This text expands the notion by merging the thinking of two closely related fields - reading and special education. This text explores current research, theories and practices from the two fields. It is designed to meet the needs of those educators who teach these students at all grade levels and in all subject areas.
