Need help

finding a
bedtime
story?

5 steps to make sure the book

has quality information for your
child:
1. Characters should grow
2. Characters need to be
portrayed positively
and realistically
3. Character should be:
Credible, consistent,
multidimensional, and
growing just like any
other character
4. The character with
special needs should be
the Protagonists rather
than supplemental
characters
5. Characters should display
correct facts rather than
stereotypes

This is the how to

choose the right
book for
displaying children
with disabilities.

Before reading the book to your

child you should:
Pre-read the book
Use sticky notes
throughout to explain
words or concepts
Look up reading
discussion questions and
most asked questions
about concepts in the
book
[Street
Address]
Have an activity
afterwards for you and
your child to do

Questions to ask
yourself as you pre-read
the book:
1. Does the story
emphasize
similarities
between people
with disabilities
and people
without
disabilities?
2. Can the book be
used to raise
awareness to
others about
disabilities?
3. Can my child be a
more rounded
person after
reading this book?

Enjoy
reading!
