What+does+this+say?

As an ECE teacher who collaborates in the regular ed classroom almost full time, I have many opportunities to help children access print independently.

 * Being able to access print independently opens whole worlds to students and gives them the confidence to take ownership of their own learning. UDL will open these same worlds to students who need the support who __don't__ qualify for ECE. This is key to making sure that all students can learn.**

Another way I have used to help students to independently access print (and also to create writing pieces) was by using Read and Write Gold software.

 * I have seen students go from just "getting the work done" when I scribed for them to being so proud of their writing completed using Read and Write Gold that they asked to make multiple copies to take to all of their former teachers. Clearly the independence they felt made it "their work" as opposed to "what Mrs. Erbes wrote." I would love for all students to be that proud of their work!**
