How do you get the books you need in college?

I tutor an autistic kid, and I need advice on books to use.?

• I tutor an autistic kid, and I am currently looking for some books that would help him a lot. I need two books that meet the following criteria: 1) Vocabulary related. 4-6th grade level. Uses pictures or animations to learn the word (for example, a picture of the word "hoist" will show someone "hoisting" an object, etc). This can be web or text form. I teach him vocabulary, but his abstract thinking skills are very low and thus make it hard for him to "visualize" many words. 2) Writing related. My student is old enough to be in 8th grade, but his reading / writing skills are very low. I need to get some sort of book that will help teach him how to write basic paragraphs. Maybe it could show a picture, and have the student write a simple paragraph on the picture, and explaining very simply how to structure a paragraph, and make modest summaries. My student finds it very hard to understand what a paragraph is talking about, and finds it hard to summarize topics. 3-5th grade level. Again, this can be in text or web form. Anything would help. Preferably books with exercises so i can do it with him, but yeah anything would help. I don't have too much experience in this area (I'm a college kid myself, I just tutor/help him as my part time job) so yeah :P Anywho, thanks in advance!

• Answer:

  Well first, does he have any obsession? I tutor autistic kids all the time and I use their obsessions so does he have a thing for planes, trains, planets, vacuums etc? That will make a big difference
