in recent years. Teaching functional

Special Education for children with mental retardation has seen tremendous progress
academics, literacy and numeracy are important areas requiring focus. A systematic approach to teaching functional
the
literacy and functional numeracy will let the teachers and the students have a sense of achievement and eventually
students gain independence in social competence.

Considering the need for methods and materials for this purpose, an attempt is made to develop learning aids, workbooks
and charts and resource book for teaching functional literacy and numeracy which includes reading, basic arithmetic,
time and money concepts.

A field trial was conducted to test the efficacy of the materials with children in special schools. Infact, decision on "whai
to develop" was made only after compiling the opinions of special teachers.

The materials developed are presented along with a catalogue describing the multiutility of each material.

The printed matter is in the form of literacy and numeracy series. This book is a part of the series.

Teacher's own creativity and imagination will further enhance the teaching - learning process. A feedback from th
teachers is most welcome for further refining of the materials.
