As a teacher, it can become quite difficult to engage struggling readers. Students can often feel lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated. This project will help to reinforce the love of reading with a "NEON READ ON" classroom transformation. The project, with the use of black lights and glow in the dark items, will spark curiosity and excitement as students tackle difficult reading objectives. Can you imagine the joy that students will have as they work through these learning objectives? Those earlier feelings are at bay while students are involved in the learning process like never before. "NEON READ ON" encourages students to take risks in an area that they often encounter with challenges. Motivating students in a positive manner and boosting student participation, reading goals have a better chance of being mastered.
