I am a 7th and 8th grade Supplemental Learning Support Teacher in an urban school district. My students face several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, they are excited about learning new skills and learning how to become better readers. My 12-14 year olds enjoy silent reading times when they can apply the skills they have learned in our classroom. It is exciting as their teacher to see them want to learn how to read and become better readers. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These facts may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute my students walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on the whole development of each child.
