Literacy is the ability to use language, reading, and writing to engage and make meaning with the world around us. Literacy is composed of 4 interwoven strands: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These 4 strands provide human beings the ability to engage and make meaning with the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602103431656-MH4YXTFGS2WTCRJ76MGW/annie-spratt-p1bHqLjKwi4-unsplash.jpg Literacy - Core 4: Listening: involves paying attention to sounds, words, and sentences Speaking: involves expressing one’s ideas and thoughts using words.

Special education is free specially designed instruction developed for students to meet the unique needs of their disability. The specially designed instruction includes services, supports, programs, modifications, and specialized placements (if needed). Special education was created to guarantee that all the educational needs of students are met. In order to see if a student qualifies for special education, they must receive a comprehensive evaluation by their local public school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602106295594-HO8ANEBDZOGN25HUYZMP/gautam-arora-OVDtgUhUPBY-unsplash.jpg Special Education - Evaluation: The evaluation process consists of three components: assessments, observations, and a team meeting. After the assessments and observations are conducted, a team meeting with the school psychologist, special education teacher, parents, and service providers if needed (speech language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, school counselors) will take place to determine if the student falls under one of the IDEA’s categories of disabilities and if so, does the disability affect their ability to make progress in school. If through the evaluation it is determined that a student qualifies for special education because they have an IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) disability and the disability affects their learning then an IEP (individualized education plan) will be developed for the student. The IEP outlines the student’s present level of performance, what their disability classification is, the supports and modifications they will receive due to their disability, the goals for the student and how the goals will be measured, and lastly the services they will get, how often they will get the services, where they will be give the services, and the manner they will receive their services (individual or group setting). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602390031616-YVM8QEWFXWBVOQW4ULIE/image-asset.jpeg Special Education - What if students don’t qualify for an IEP? Students who don’t qualify for an IEP can still get services. A 504 plan can be developed for students who still require special education, but can’t receive an IEP due to their evaluation not determining them to have one of the disabilities defined by The IDEA. A 504 plan is a framework for how the school will support a student with a disability and remove the barriers they have to optimize learning. The 504 plan lists the accommodations that will help the student in school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602390162860-O07A7HUNHQJWS725OALY/image-asset.jpeg Special Education - How is special education related to Jump into Literacy? Many of the IDEA’s categories of disabilities affect literacy development. This further disadvantages special education students. Understanding how the disability affects literacy development is important for it allows a literacy curriculum to be created that will help the student. Jump into Literacy eliminates the learning disadvantages that affect special education students and restore the low self-esteem that many special education students have with literacy. https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/jump-blog daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/founder daily 0.75 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1604193364634-BXD1524Z8SDBIM07PAF7/Nikki-greece.jpg Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602601218875-PA60X9Y6COGHD4UPVDY6/Nicole1.png Founder https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/about-jump daily 0.75 2021-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602603768957-DBOGXLJWUABHM3MED0BV/Nicole+Circle.png About Jump https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/curriculum-services daily 0.75 2021-05-24 https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/curriculumdevelopmentportfolio daily 0.75 2020-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620292976-5XC0FC1XATKNGIHQR2BH/Binder1_Page_05.jpg Portfolio Reward System https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602619543628-2UB5MFO5RDAKO0O6IHGU/ASD+Routine+Cards_Page_2.jpg Portfolio ASD Routine Cards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620326823-S45VMJKAQ2B311NAAGT3/Binder1_Page_07.jpg Portfolio Game-Pass the Sound https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620268830-J21Q2RPZPIOXWDE2ZWX3/Binder1_Page_11.jpg Portfolio Individualized Behavior Chart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620277076-ZF7V1A2O0L0A47VYR4MN/Binder1_Page_52.jpg Portfolio Velcro schedule for students who need structure https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620320043-4V38SRS41B7R584XDNRY/Binder1_Page_06.jpg Portfolio Worksheet - Find the Common Letter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620335779-GAB4VHSW6CAAKLI7WE5H/Binder1_Page_08.jpg Portfolio Vocabulary Scavenger Hunt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620363949-YXR5MPI7A3MNVBMTWRHF/Binder1_Page_13.jpg Portfolio Grammar and Vocabulary Multiple Choice Quizzes with Explainers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620407921-D5CBS6F58GT5KPN6L9BM/Binder1_Page_30.jpg Portfolio Phonics Lesson Plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620378009-AH1ZFJVUDFUMIB35MEEP/Binder1_Page_23.jpg Portfolio Curriculum Mapping For English Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620392126-1CPKKEWDQXWZ32WZ75GX/Binder1_Page_26.jpg Portfolio Worksheet-Parts of Speech https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620430623-33VVR61PK84CSAX4W7LJ/Binder1_Page_38.jpg Portfolio Powerpoint Presentation-Happy Mother's Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620447126-PP68I35F1D4TDUWGJCCS/Binder1_Page_42.jpg Portfolio Powerpoint Presentation-Homes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620462732-YCR7S94OLB0CHDOTJE05/Binder1_Page_51.jpg Portfolio Grammar Game-Roll a Pronoun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620481998-JT1UAZHE40UBXP1PL51W/Binder1_Page_57.jpg Portfolio Vocabulary Activity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620490376-SNBM5P8DLSMDE19RCVOF/Binder1_Page_58.jpg Portfolio Behaviors for Reward System https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602620527751-7K1L9R5DXALH43ATLW5E/Binder1_Page_59.jpg Portfolio Lesson Plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602982909015-2980P1I6U8QEHHIK9RHK/Community+Helpers+Unit_Page_1.jpg Portfolio Unit Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1602983115255-DPTO9NS21V1QC4EUUD5M/When+I+Grow+Up+Lesson_Page_1.jpg Portfolio Lesson Plan https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/schedule-consultation daily 0.75 2026-03-20 https://www.jumpintoliteracy.com/home2 daily 0.75 2026-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a6b557ef94c529f11160a/1770842289807-6XR2LOZR87I07S84TYS3/unsplash-image-PeRNNIGmoNU.jpg Home2 - Jump into Literacy is an educational company that provides reading and writing classes and/or tutoring for students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th.
