My students require a much more individualized and specialized way of learning. They learn through hands-on materials and visuals. They need access to materials that keep all of their materials organized. When provided with this type of learning environment, my students can learn and excel!
"It is never to late to expand the mind of a person on the autism spectrum" -Dr. Temple
Autism is an extremely challenging disability that affects every aspect of my students' lives. My classroom is made up of eight young people with autism. We are located in a low-income school where I need to buy most if not all of my own supplies.
My Project
I have many students who excel in their reading skills but still struggle in certain areas. Some of these areas are reading comprehension and fluency. I would love for my scholars to have access to the Reading Plus program.
Reading Plus is an adaptive reading intervention that integrates comprehension, vocabulary, motivation, and reading efficiency into one program.
Reading Plus supports educators by providing differentiated literacy instruction for all students, grades 3-12. The research-based, dynamically adjusting program gives educators a 360-degree view of each student and provides the personalized instruction and silent reading practice students need to become independent readers.
I truly believe in getting the best resources for my students to help them improve in their reading. I believe having this will inspire them to work hard daily, and learn to love reading!!! This will help foster their future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
