Hi there! I currently teach a little girl in first grade with osteogenesis imperfecta. I'm a little concerned with how much she misses school and how she does not know all her letter names/sounds despite most of the class already moving on to reading simple books. I think this is partially due to so many missed days of school due to doctor's appointments and aching.
I wanted to know if you had any advice on how we can best support her from the early elementary teacher's side, and if you have any memories from when you were younger that might provide me with some insights.
Also, this unit, my class will be talking a lot about inner beauty, and we'll get to talk about things that make us unique. Do you have any kid-friendly resources about osteogenesis imperfecta that you might recommend?
