MEville to WEville
Early Literacy Program

MEville to WEville was specifically developed for students with disabilities who have difficulties learning to read and write through traditional instructional methods. Designed to build a classroom community that promotes a sense of belonging, each unit offers students a new and different perspective on themselves, their families, and their school.

In 2004, Dr. Karen Erickson, from the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, completed a research study in special education classrooms to evaluate the effectiveness of the MEville to WEville program.

Initial results indicated:
• Children initiated more communication and
    interaction during the program
• Children developed stronger social relationships
    with their peers in special and general education
• Children became more socially responsive
• Teachers were able to spend more time
    addressing communication and literacy

Each unit includes:
• 300-page spiral bound manual in full color
• 75 lessons and 60 extension activities
    that focus on:
   - Reading activities
   - Vocabulary and word wall activities
   - Writing activities
   - Creating books
   - Art projects
   - Games
   - Brainstorming
   - Relationship building
• Action Dictionary: Assistive Technology Guide
• One literature book that supports the theme
    and content of the lesson
• Activity reproducibles created with
    BoardMaker Symbols
• Data collection tools for collecting and sharing
    student progress
