I struggle to find materials to work with them that engage them and still allows me to work with them at their level.

Do you  have any suggestions towards YA novels or short stories?

Thanks!

Similarly, finding easy to read, but intellectually challenging readings are hard to come across. I would be happy to find strategies or resources to bridge this gap, and/or techniques to change something at a younger level into something that can be used with in older students. dwinters3 https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/158964421 2017-03-09 14:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/158964421 Lessons, tips, tricks, materials, resources for older students reading at very low levels. We have kids in grades 6/7 who read < grade 2. Ideas for teaching the skills/improving reading ability AND for getting them access to grade level curriculum in all areas. https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/159030227 --Jessy Gervais]]> 2017-03-09 16:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/159030227 Preschool Topics: we know that working on phonological skills in preschool helps get students ready for literacy, especially students with speech sound disorders. Is there any evidence that working on rapid naming is beneficial to getting students on the right track? https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/159307437 2017-03-10 16:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mpowers16/2sono9emav74/wish/159307437
