My Project
Middle school is a challenging time for many students, but for students with print-based learning disabilities, middle school is a time of feeling fear that your peers will notice that you have not yet mastered reading. We can begin to overcome this by having books that these students can and want to read! This will have them reading more words, leading to increased reading outcomes.
My students need exciting, inspiring books that they can and want to read.
They need books that will pique their interest. They need books that will give them the desire to work hard to master the skills they don't yet have. They need books that look like the books their peers are reading. Books like Urban Legends Mary Celeste, and Urban Legends, Roanoke Colony are books that my students can read and discuss as they learn a little about history. These books will draw them in and foster their desire to read.
