I just got a job teaching ELA, but it is unique class -- called an 'extension' class for 'support' for struggling readers. I teach MS.

I had little in the way of texts to work with until today -- I have managed to scxrounge up enough books now for even my lowest level readers to at least have something to read. There is no curriculum, and I have not seen any of the kids scores yet; we just tested them for this year yesterday.

I took one reading course in grad school and it was taught by an adjunct sub -- kind of a rip off -- bc the professor quit at the last minute. My teaching experience lies more in teaching literature and writing, but I love reading and really want to be able to help these kids!

I am wondering if any of you have any ideas where to begin.I do have one copy of the "Reader's Handbook" and could possibly copy lessons from that if need be. I am at a real loss.

Also needing ideas to decorate the bulletin board outside my classroom. ...See More
