The e-library has resources for our students who have an IEP. Important note:
Pearson & Nelson have offered temporary access to their online services so that teachers can access frequently used textbooks. However, they control this platform and can withdrawal access when the pandemic is over. This is very different from the eLibrary because eLibrary books are 100% digital PDF copies of copyrighted material and therefore shareable in a way that the online service is not. Improper use and sharing of these materials break copyright law and would put individual teachers at risk of prosecution under copyright law. They are still only to be accessed for students with perceptual disabilities because in this very specific circumstance copyright law is superseded by human rights code that says that students with perceptual disabilities are entitled to access the curriculum in a way that is meaningful to them.
Contact Ms. Kiriella for the password for students with an IEP.
Students access their leveled text (DRA up to 70+), through an interactive learning portal designed to keep them motivated and engaged. Every eBook is available in online and mobile formats, and allows students to listen to, read at their own pace, and record themselves reading. Students then take a corresponding eQuiz complete with an extended answer response to test comprehension and determine future instruction needs. Once a child has read ten or more of the leveled eBooks and passed each of the corresponding eQuizzes, they advance on to the next level where they have access to lengthier and more difficult text.
