UDL Bookbuilder - South

Here is my book called South. It is a picture book illustrated by Patrick McDonnell and written by yours truly! At our school the academic achievement levels can vary greatly between students within the same literacy group and often if can be difficult to find a single book that matches each reader's level. Using picture books with the UDL Bookbuilder site is a great way to differentiate these books by creating your own story and inserting the vocabulary you are trying to teach your students. For most of this book I worked on teaching vocab through the use of context reading and the use of the images. I also incorporated questions regarding analyzing and understanding emotions of the characters which is often difficult for our students who are high functioning autism (HFA). 

*One note was that for some strange reason the site was not allowing me to add any text for the characters. I know when I was testing it out earlier in the semester it worked for me, so I'm assuming it is a temporary glitch.

**If you read through the story please let me know if there are any mistakes so I can correct them before using the book with students. 


Thanks and Enjoy!
