Hello all- This is my first time posting, although I've been reading and learning from the list for more than a year. I teach in a middle school where The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a required part of the curriculum for 7th grade. I totally disagree with that, but at this point don't have a choice. This year I will be teaching a Resource English class for the first time so I will be required to teach this book and I am TERRIFIED! I think it is difficult for even the best readers at this age, but my struggling special ed students will wig out! I am looking for suggestions to make the text more accessible to these students and reduce their frustration as much as possible!
