The pandemic has delayed the typical progression of a child's learning. The last normal year for a 3rd grader was when the student was in kindergarten. Kindergarten! There are so many factors out of the student's control, but together we will march forward and strive to close the gaps--namely in reading. A study revealed that students who were not proficient in reading by the end of third grade were four times more likely to drop out of high school than proficient readers. Most of the students I serve struggle with reading, and the pandemic only compounded the problem. To make up for their learning loss, my students need activities and games to make their learning fun. The more they practice, the more confident they become. Practice makes permanent! My students crave multi-sensory activities to reinforce their learning. Tokens and magnets and dry erase boards. Oh my! This gives them a chance to experiment with concrete objects and play games to reinforce new literacy lessons. And we need lots of repetition. File folder games, word mapping with cubes and scented markers, or spelling in a sand tray are just a few things we can do to make learning fun. My resource room utilizes page protectors, velcro dots, and index cards for countless activities during group lessons. Wobble seats and rolling chairs and fidget bands. Oh yes! Typically, the middle school students have a preferred seating choice in my room. My elementary students would love an extra chance to wiggle and wobble in their small group. The extra fidgeting allows for longer spans of concentration and for building of their core muscles. And let's face it. Literacy lessons are hard work and even harder with the disruption of the pandemic. But I believe that my students will overcome.
