[MOSAIC] Very Disabled Readers

2008-09-24 Thread PAltm81324
I am currently teaching reading to students in grades 6 and 8 in small group 
classes with children who are severely disabled in reading. I am working on 
the strategies with them and have started with them hearing their inner voice 
as 
they read.  We are  having difficulty with this even with me modeling and 
doing read alouds with them practicing. How would you approach reading with 
students like this? 

My second dilemma is that I have the 8th graders every other day which makes 
having any kind of continuity nearly impossible.  Any ideas how to best 
structure a class like this?

Pat -  You could try tapping into the kids' inner voices without a written 
text.  Try a movie clip.  I know it sounds little unconventional, but their 
still connecting with and interpreting a "text."  Just think of it as a MAJOR 
scaffold - no reading = no difficulty.
 
As for your every other day dilemma, I've got nothing.  I'm in a similar 
situation.  If you figure out a great way to structure the class, please share 
it!
