What sort of disabilities do they have? Do they just struggle in reading? As for your 8th grade class, the intervention class I was coaching the teachers in had this sort of situation. Honestly, it didn't disrupt 8th graders too much. They were able to remember what they had done 2 days before. What kind of class is yours? An English class, or intervention type class?
