Junior High Success in Reading

Help me give my students with learning disabilities opportunities to practice their reading skills with current relevant events, as well as incentives for a job well done.

My Project

My students have various learning disabilities, and it is difficult to find affordable, engaging material for them to practice reading skills. Scholastic magazines are colorful and filled with relevant topics. The students will also benefit from the incentives to participate in class activities and reinforce good behavior.

Covid-19 has dramatically decreased student motivation, and I hope these engaging games and candy incentives will increase their extrinsic motivation while we work toward building back the intrinsic motivation necessary for real learning.

My students also have a deficit in some basic skills, and the warm-up books will help me identify the precise areas they need to work on.
