My students are a dynamic group ranging in age from kindergarten to 5th grade in a large public school serving 600+ students. I have the privilege of providing both push-in and pull-out services to 40+ students, working closely with the general education teachers to provide maximum support to all students. When my students begin a theme in Language Arts, they have so many questions. They want to know everything about the topic they are reading about. I provide as much background information as possible; however, they would be so empowered if they could conduct their own research using reading skill strategies, note-taking, and use of the scientific exploration. What better way to utilize their skills now for future success in high school and beyond! Students also benefit from specific training in time management, use of cognitive strategies, and study skills to guide them with their research. There are many apps that can be utilized on our iPads that would benefit all students.
