Struggling readers, or reading intervention students, are often given material that isn't grade or age-appropriate, much less interesting or current - that's not the case with my students, though! Using the share reading technique and the Notice & Note comprehension strategy, I've been able to introduce my students to a couple of bestselling authors and award-winning titles. As a result, my so-called struggling readers have caught the reading bug! The students I serve in my Title l school - general education, ESL, and special education 4th and 5th graders who are below literacy benchmarks - are becoming engaged and eager readers who want to read and listen to good books during small group reading instruction, independent reading, and home reading, which puts me in a sort of "code blue" situation, because I'm unable to provide them with the books, audiobooks, CD players, and headphones they need. Offering my students what they require in a timely fashion may be especially important to this project, as I believe one must operate from a place of urgency with students who might not otherwise have the desire, ability, or opportunity to secure books due to transportation, technology, financial, or home life constraints. I want to capitalize on my students' current interests in books and authors, encourage their daily and wide reading, help my students see themselves as readers, and encourage a lifelong reading for pleasure.
