Hi everyone!

I want to make sure my students have what they need to succeed, so I created a donorschoose.org classroom request. 

If you decide to give to my classroom within the next 7 days and use the promo code RIPPLE, your donation will be matched up to $50. Anything counts. We will be just as appreciative if you are unable to financially support, but share this with others! 

Thank you in advance <3!

Susan Wilde-Herald mentions a fair number of books that are great for emerging and learning disabled readers:

One of the most appreciated books was Jen Bryant’s “The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus” (Eerdmans, ages 7-10). This biography of Peter Mark Roget begins lyrically, “Peter snuggled deeper into Uncle’s lap as the carriage clattered … Baby Annette slept in Mother’s arms, a small pink blossom against a wall of black.” On this first page, almost every word finds a line of its own. Together they create the sense of a young lost boy in the wake of his father’s death. These words gain strength when you realize that this list represents how Roget always sought the right word for feelings and experiences and organized these into poignant lists. Melissa Sweet’s illustrations portray potency of collected, stacked words. The teachers saw this listing approach as typical to some learning disabled students and also thought the book provided an opportunity for children to view a role model who saw the world differently and organized information according to his own beliefs.
