K-6 English Online Resource for Teachers with Students with Special Education Needs

The Board of Studies NSW has developed an online resource for primary teachers and special educators of students who experience difficulty with English and aspects of communication.
This resource is the first of its kind in Australia. Based on current research and theory, it was developed by the Board of Studies NSW in consultation with leading education professionals.
 In particular, the resource provides additional programming support and teaching strategies for teachers of students who experience difficulties in the areas of reading, writing, talking, listening and communication. Examples are included of how to identify and address these difficulties in the classroom environment.
