My Students
My students are fourth, fifth and sixth grade students with mild to moderate disabilities. This includes children with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, speech/language disabilities such as a student being non-verbal, autism and other health impairments such as ADHD. My students spend anywhere from forty-five minutes a day to ninety percent of their day in my classroom, receiving instruction based on their Individual Education Plan (IEP).
In addition to having disabilities, my students all come from very low-income households and most students have backgrounds with trauma.
Every single student in my school receives daily free breakfast, daily free lunch and two bags of groceries once a month. They have so much to overcome, but I am proud to be an advocate and positive role model in their lives.
My Project
I have found that my students need more phonics instruction than my current curriculum provides and multi-sensory learning is an excellent way for students with disabilities to learn to read. The books that I have chosen are highly recommended by Orton-Gillingham reading specialists. Since my students reading levels vary from kindergarten to about fourth grade, I need a wide range of materials.
In addition to phonics curriculum, I also plan on getting a printer/scanner so that I can scan and make copies of behavior trackers each day, as well as print in color.
The ability to print in color allows me to utilize materials from other teachers who utilize multi-sensory phonics (such as Teachers Pay Teachers resources). I will also be able to print student data in color and use color in behavior supports (daily schedule, break cards, etc.).
Nearly all students from low‑income households
