Resources for Creating Adapted Books in Special Education

Resources for Creating Adapted Books in Special EducationI use a ton of adapted books in my classroom. I create a lot of them using Word or Powerpoint, but I also find a lot online, print and adapt them. There are a lot of great resources out there to get adapted or low-level books out there for free or for a small membership fee.

Tarheel reader is a-ma-zing!! You can read the books with kids on an iPad or computer, or you can print them. It's totally free, but you do have to set up an account. You can also quickly and easily create your own adapted books on the website.

Although News2You isn't free (I think it's about $150 for a yearly subscription), it is well worth the money! It includes weekly adapted newsletters, but my favorite thing about News2You is the adapted books that are included!
