More Exciting Stories

I have an autistic student in my room. He is not with me for reading, but have asked him to read the books we are reading. He finishes the books before we do and just today he asked me twice for the next book we will be reading. I tried to give him one we would not get to but he wants to read what we are going to read. He is a smart kid, just has other issues which sometimes prevents that. Happy Reading!!!

Excited about Reading

I have been teaching literature along with reading all year. My class is so excited when they finish one book they can not wait to start the next one. We do different activities with each book. I have fourth grade and a library of 15 different books with 25 copies. We sometimes read aloud, but mostly on their own. We then discuss the chapter that they have read. There are some students that say they do not like to read, but so enjoy reading what everyone else is reading. They like to participate in the discussion.
