There is something called Tape Express+ which converts cassette tapes to an MP3
format. It's made by a company class *ion. I hope this helps.

We are working on a unit on historical fiction and looking for a
high-interest
historical fiction novel set around the time of the Civil War. Any ideas? I

Thanks!

There is an adapter called a dongle you can purchase for about 35 dollars. This
allows your iPad to use the projector. However, there is no way to have your
smart board become a touch pad like the iPad. I connect my iPad to the

I am a middle school reading teacher who also teaches the lowest readers (Level
1 non-fluent). I find that using graphic novels are very motivating for my
lowest readers. The most popular/common are the series by Dav Pilkey: Ricky
Ricotta and his Mighty Robot series and the Captain
Check out Million Dollar Kick by Dan Gutman. Also Matt Christopher has
several books: Soccer Hero, Soccer Halfback, Soccer Cats. There is also a
new series called The Wild Soccer Bunch by Joachim Masannek.

My Life in Dog Years by Gary Paulsen. He describes incidents in his life
involving various dogs he has owned or known. Some of the chapters tug at your
emotions,others make you laugh out loud. The descriptions are so vivid, it
makes a great read aloud.

Try Readworks.org. It is a great site for Comprehension. It has lesson plans,

I also teach 6th grade reading. I teach everything from Intensive Reading for
students 3 years below grade level to advanced reading and I do assign reading
homework. What I found that works better for me than a separate reading log is
to use the students' daily planner.

Heather,
Try looking for a book: Why Johnny Can't Read which I believed used a phonics
approach for struggling readers in the late 50's early 60's.

What is read works
Stacy
I use a combination of bean bags and something called a reader rocker chair
(looks something like a video game chair, it rocks. They are all fire retardant
so they pass fire inspection. They are not cheap, but our PTSA has helped
purchase some for my classroom. My last set of reader
read a story about a girl who runs away and changes her
identity. I had my students create an I Am poem and draw their self-portrait.
So, I think if you can find a way to extend the lessons and add more
creative,hands-on experiences, they will be more engaged. Good Luck!

I also work in a middle school with below grade level readers and students with
disabilities. Sometimes when my students are reluctant to do the work I will go
over and do one or two of the items with them, give them some positive feedback
and then say, You keep working, I will check back with
into meaningful segments.
The new System 44 is very expensive, I don't know how much research has been
done on its effectiveness. SRA has been around for years and has proven itself
to be effective when properly implemented.

Arts-REACH). The Spelling Through Morphographs really helps the kids
to break apart words into their components and helps them understand how words
are put together, what the afixxes mean and this approach over time, helps them
decode words when reading.
