Welcome to our In the Know topic for December, International Day of Persons with Disabilities. 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 what disabilities are and how people with different disabilities experience the world. A Spanish translation can be found here.
Grades 2-3 investigate how they can increase their awareness of people with disabilities. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
Grades 4-5 look at how communities can be more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
