He stated he particularly felt good about sharing what he knew when the upcoming movie's preview was shown on tv.? I had a class of struggling reader.? I was doing academic intervention with Read 180.?
Another book students truly enjoyed was The Mighty.? Students were able to relate to their struggles and differences.? You can go to booksource.com and give the title or authors; it will indicate whether it's recommended as a? book for struggling readers.?

This is a new class in my building for struggling readers. I'm guessing that many of these students do not know if they have a favor author or a favorite genre. Can you suggest some books that your middle school students (especially struggling readers) have enjoyed? Thanks!
