I am a teacher in the Resource Room here at Hamilton, so each of my students who receive services have some type of learning disability. The learning disabilities range from IEP's to emotional impairment, and Autism to Early Childhood Developmental Delay. Most students who receive services here struggle mostly with reading. I read books aloud to them often and sometimes we just take turns passing around a book and they each read a paragraph or page depending on its length. The older kids (third and fourth graders and next year, fifth graders) are being introduced to reading bigger books and unfortunately, I do not have copies of the books to lend them while we read. While we have managed to pass books around in a circle, it is pretty distracting and takes a few extra seconds each time for the students to pass the book and find where the other student left off.
I have myself purchased some chapter books in copies of 4 or more for them to read in our reading circles, however it is expensive and sadly, I can only afford a few months each month.
My Project
Having copies of books will help the students in their reading circles! The finger-aids for books will be helpful in these reading circles to ensure the students do not lose their place while reading, which is pretty easy to do.
I am so excited to have a new set of books to add to our classroom library as well as the various games and activities like the money register, the shoe-tying practice shoe, and the clocks!
There are several different disabilities we work with in our class and each child needs different interventions. I am excited to introduce the sensory activities as well!
