Kathleen I also am in my second year of teaching Read 180. I teach Stage B to 6th graders. My classes include both Gen.Ed. and Students w/Disabilities. I also require my students to keep a daily reading log. I check the logs every Friday for a grade and for the most part, knowing that the logs will be checked keeps most of my students "honest". One of the ways I try to keep my students engaged with the program is to extend the lessons by doing some "hands-on" activities. For example in Workshop 2 which covers disasters and focuses on the skill of sequencing, we read a story "Fire on a Mountain". After we read the story and complete the workshop activities in the rBook, I have my students create a timeline of the sequence of events in the story on a foldable and draw pictures to go along with the timeline. They seemed to enjoy that. In another workshop which concerns "identity", we read a story about a girl who runs away and changes her identity. I had my students create an "I Am" poem and draw their self-portrait. So, I think if you can find a way to extend the lessons and add more creative,"hands-on" experiences, they will be more engaged. Good Luck!
