Teaching middle- and high-school literature standards to special education students can be immensely difficult. n2y’s Classics makes this easier by providing adapted‐text and symbol‐supported versions of 12 classic novels and plays, and a pathway toward achieving those standards. It builds confidence by giving struggling readers access the same world-class literature as their peers.
For this campaign, we decided to invite the reader to imagine themselves being in the story. We were not limited to depicting specifically SPED students. The art and copy would be a witty tease with the stories themselves. We had to make it exciting, to resonate with anyone who loves a great story. Stylistically, we wanted a painterly look, with a youthful simplicity. We also experimented with subtle movement.
