My students are in 6-8 grade and have difficulties reading. As they have entered middle school, the instruction has moved more towards content and comprehension. Instruction for developing fluency is not as common as it was in elementary school. These students want to read well and not be heard stumbling on words that they know they should be able to read. They have built coping mechanisms to survive having to read aloud in other classrooms. My room is a safe place for them to risk showing their reading weaknesses but even then it is hard to not feel like 'everyone' is listening to them struggle. Many students also are easily distracted. Whisper phones would allow them to concentrate on practicing and hear themselves read without other noises interfering. I want to offer everything I can before they head to high school.
