Contribution of the Use of Children’s Literature in Special Education

This article examines the benefits that the use of children’s literature can bring to Special Education. Children’s literature can provide significant benefits to students by providing role models and values as well as enhancing their cognitive development. This applies to all children with the exception of those who face special educational needs and are included in special education. The benefits of children’s literature are as much cognitive and academic as they are emotional and social. Children’s literature can be an important means of encouraging and motivating students studying in Special Education and at the same time contribute to the development of their skills and abilities because of the perspectives and opportunities it creates.
