Melissa, hit LD Online (Learning Disabilities Online). Here you can
find many ideas for your needs. I used the onsite search engine and
came up with several leads for you:
http://www.ldonline.org/
Here is just one example of the many I found at the site. This is an
article to help parents motivate their children with learning
disabilities, to learn to read:
http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/reading/ltr-cec/ltr5-cec.html
The ideas espoused in that article will serve the teacher, as well.
However, I am sure you will agree that parental involvement is an
important factor in your teaching the disabled child to learn to enjoy
reading. Therefore motivating the child often involves motivating the
parents. This article will arm you with some good ideas toward that
endeavor.
