A literacy curriculum for ages 5 to 10 with moderate to severe developmental disabilties
ELSB is a research-based and
language-rich literacy curriculum for children ages 5 to 10 with moderate
to severe developmental disabilties. It incorporates systematic instruction
to teach both print and phonemic awareness. ELSB is a multi-year program
with 7 distinct levels and ongoing assessments so students progress
at their own pace.
Each level includes a scripted Teacher’s
Manual and full-color Student Materials and Student
Assessments. Click here to see sample

puppet and his corresponding stories make ELSB student friendly.

friendly too.
