HalfYear Subscriptions to Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions for Special Education Classrooms On Sale Now



AbleNet, Inc., today announced the availability of half-year subscriptions to 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions,' its popular series of adapted student publications and teachers' guides for special education classrooms.

As the name implies, 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' are the result of a unique partnership between Weekly Reader, one of the country's most respected publishers of materials for elementary and secondary schools, and AbleNet, a leader in the development of research-based curricula and assistive technologies for special education classrooms.

Already named a "Teachers' Pick" by Scholastic's 'Instructor Magazine,' these one-of-a-kind publications and teacher's guides deliver all the fresh, engaging, and relevant content of Weekly Reader publications for general education classrooms, formatted to meet the instructional needs of students with moderate to severe disabilities.

"The 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' have exceeded our expectations, and we're pleased to report that hundreds of special education teachers across the country have incorporated this proven teaching tool into their existing curricula with ease," said AbleNet CEO, Jen Thalhuber. "Taking advantage of the half-year subscription, priced at just $129, is an excellent way to stretch tight budgets, while testing the effectiveness of 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' for inclusion in the next school year," added Thalhuber.

Like full-year subscriptions, half-year subscriptions to 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' give special education teachers a choice between 'Weekly Reader - Edition 2,' which covers a variety of elementary grade-level themes and topics; 'Know Your World Extra,' which covers current events and pop culture news for secondary students; and/or 'Current Health 1,' which covers a variety of age-appropriate and timely topics related to health and well-being -- also for secondary students. To further assist teachers in addressing the unique needs of individual students, all 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' are available in two formats, one for students with moderate disabilities and one for students with severe/profound disabilities.

Half-year subscriptions include ten standard edition 'Weekly Reader' print copies, mailed directly to the classroom, each month beginning in January, paired with downloadable 'Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions' Teacher's Guides offering monthly strategies for differentiated instruction. Accessing each month's student copies, specifically adapted for students with moderate or severe disabilities using Picture Symbols by BoardMaker, is as easy as visiting
