TARGET: Elementary, Exceptional Education

Happy New Year LM-Netter's!

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to teach library skills
(dictionary,encyclopedia, index, almanac, etc.) to 3-5 grade exceptional ed.
students?    I have lots of ideas for library skills,  but because of the
students' low reading skills, they cannot comprehend the activities and
written excercises as readily as their mainstreamed counterparts.

For the past year that I have been at this school, I have mainly done themed
story-times.  I have about 250 students that fit into this category of Exept.
Ed.  I feel that they should be getting more out of Library Time.  What
happens when they go on to middle school, with no skills?  How do you deal
with your students?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
