Reading
This class is designed to address the needs of students that have some form of reading difficulties. The main purpose is to address the needs in the areas of; phonemic awareness, phonetics, writing, reading fluency and comprehension. The class usually selects a book to be read at the beginning of each semester. Before they begin the reading of the book selected, they are given background-knowledge of the the topic or main theme. This is done by guest speakers, internet research or movie clips. The students create a new vocabulary list from the books that has been chosen for the class to read. This list is used for our spelling and vocabulary test. Periodically we do activities to note if the students comprehend the material that is read to them. The students are presently reading "Incident at Hawks Hill."
