My Project

My students are in an inclusion program this year. They are devoted and love to use different tools to help them read. We have 12 neurotypical children and 4 students with autism. The kids in our class are kind and take care of one another. They are ready to read! I have used these books since I began teaching in 1997 and they work! My goal is to have each child reading by the end of the year. We do so many other strategies daily to help them. This can be the glue to our missing piece.
