This is Not Ebay

by Fed Up

Sep 16, 2012

I have enjoyed visiting the board over the past months and have used it as a resource for my job. However, lately it has become a sort of online garage sale. Please...if you want to sell stuff or give it away do it another way. Use the board for asking for and giving advice, tips, lesson plans , etc. Thank you!

jb In our board, every school must offer the LLI program to students who have not reached reading benchmark by the start of grade one. This year is the third year that I have been using the program and I love it. We have had great success and the students love it too.

We have been able to get many of the students in the program to read at gr...See More

Has anyone here used the Reading Mentor for use with Reading Rods? Could you give me the pros and cons of the machine use and tell me how effective it is, please? (i.e. how loud is the reading and is it clear or choppy?) I noticed it may be an issue if the child puts the blocks in facing the wrong way; is it foolproof? I am teaching an aphasic chil...See More

Stretched Thin This Year and Overwhelmed

by Reading Teacher To Go

Nov 8, 2012

I can't help but feel I have been stretched so thin this year that I am beyond exhausted at the end of the day. When I first started teaching reading, I had my own classroom and the students came to my room. Fast forward a few years later, I push into their classrooms on a cart. I push the cart from classroom to classroom all day long and carry my ...See More

Barbara My answer is "YES!". It got so exhausting and overwhelming that I was burned out and decided to retire sooner than I had planned. Now I tutor, substitute occasionally and am looking into setting up my own pre-school in my home. I've never been happier!

Recommendations for Remedial Middle School

by Sarah

Nov 29, 2012

Hello all, I just started a new job as a remedial reading teacher in a junior high (middle school). I have experience with primary grades but not with older kids. Does anyone have any suggestions for books to use with them? Also, any suggestions about anything at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

jb Read the book "I Read It, But I Don't Get It" by Chris Tovani for some insight into teaching older students to read, engage and be critical.

Also, the SQ3R method is old and very simple, but try teaching them this. You can use this method with Hi/Lo materials and it will help them with the comprehension side of reading, especially for non-...See More

Anita Have the student choose text that is approximately reading level and is interesting. Then help the student learn to decode, recognise, and comprehend any unfamiliar words. Use universal word, explicit teaching, concrete, multi-sensory, applied phonics, reading/language arts/English intervention.
