Understood

          You may have already seen this commercial. I was hooked the first time I saw it. On snow day number two, I decided to take some time to check out the website and explore.  Parents, it is a very informative website with pertinent resources.         If you get a chance, check it out!

                                                       A formal introduction to the website.

WELCOME!

                     Welcome to my blog.

 The purpose of this blog is to provide teachers and parents with reading strategies for children with learning disabilities.  

I believe reading acquisition is fundamental for healthy intellectual and emotional growth. Children with learning disabilities are at a greater risk to feel inadequate.  Let's work together so this won't happen.

Teaching reading to children with learning disabilities is challenging. Teachers have to be able to systematically modify, combine and refine methods. Their tool boxes need to include more specific targeted tools.

Each future post will include a quick strategy that I hope you find useful. I will keep the posts short and sweet. Additional resources will be provided  if you have time to do more exploring on the subject.  

Here is a video to remind us why we strive to do our very best for every student. None of us want this to happen to our students and no parent wants their child to feel this way.  This is why we work so hard (even on snow days).
