An adapted version of Grow in Love Primary 2nd Class for children with Special Educational Needs is available for three levels:

• Pack A – mild needs
• Pack B – moderate needs
• Pack C – severe needs

Each child will receive a pack with three components:

• The adapted version of the Grow in Love 2nd Class Pupil Book for children with either mild, moderate or severe learning needs
• A Social Story book, containing a story for First Reconciliation and a story for First Communion
• An activity Book with activities for First Reconciliation and First Communion

Having the adapted versions of the programme will enable teachers to include children with learning needs in the Religious Education class, side by side with their mainstream friends. Since 2nd Class is the year when children prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion, it is all the more important that those with special Educational Needs are able to participate in the preparation. As with all Grow in Love textbooks, the three books for children with special needs have an At Home section in every lesson, which gives parents the opportunity to engage with their children in the content they are learning at school.
