Hi, I am new to the list, but I have enjoyed reading everything that has been coming through. I am currently teaching 6th/7th/8th grade remedial reading (students who are not served through special ed but who are below grade level readers regardless). Many students coming into the class have such a negative attitude towards reading --something that I continually work toward changing. Does anyone have any ideas for motivating or interesting lessons that are geared toward middle schoolers--lesson ideas/reading topics/"real world" reading/fun reading/vocabulary games that might interest them? I have a solid base for my everyday plans, but when students lack motivation, it's difficult to interest and engage them sometimes. Any ideas/advice/suggestions?
