Description

The Comprehensive Literacy for All book by Erickson and Koppenhaver talks about independent writing as one of the core literacy principles to teach our students with complex communication needs and bodies. You might be wondering, 

  1. “What does independent writing look like in action?”
  2.  “How on earth do I use it with my students?”
