My Project

The Covid-19 pandemic was a struggle for the majority of students. My students all have special academic needs and were behind two to three grade levels before the pandemic period. Now, my students are struggling even more because of the lack of individualized instruction and support during that time. The materials that I have chosen for this project will help my students develop reading skills and give them the tools they need to read and comprehend the materials they are reading.

My goal, as a Special education teacher, is to improve my students' reading skills so that reading become something they can enjoy rather than a task that they seem to fail at.

The guided reading book sets will be used to provide leveled reading resources that can be used at a student's independent reading level. The books, learning cards, and journals are engaging and address the interest of my students. This is beneficial because students want to read the passages and will engage in reading activities. The books will give students an opportunity to read together and share information from the text. These discussions are an integral part of learning comprehension because it helps students develop skills that will help them to be successful in the real-world.
