Welcome to our In the Know topic for April, World Autism Awareness Day. You may wish to take a look at other grade spans and recommend articles to students that are below or above their grade’s reading level.
Grades K-1 look at why we have a day to learn about autism. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
Grades 2-3 ask “What Is Autism?”. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
Grades 4-5 look at how Temple Grandin lives with autism and makes a difference. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
