My Project

My student's literacy skills were already behind and the lack of in-person learning only made that more of a challenge. I am a high school special education teacher at a linguistically and ethnically diverse public high school. I have a (never-ending) wish list of books and materials that I generally just do without. These materials give us new text to explore, at my students' reading level, and the materials to respond to the text. I have included games in my wish list to add some variety to our days and to increase our learning fun!
