Here is some of the other stuff we do in our class. We spend at least 20 minutes a day reading, at least 20 minutes on Read 180 on the computers, and we also have group work where we learn reading and writing skills.

These students are very ready to learn and are trying to build their own skills in reading so that they can move on to their G.E.D. or to finishing their high school diploma.

Although attendance is usually the main obstacle between students and success, there are also other missing pieces that have to be filled in. Sometimes it is the speed of their reading, phonics, vocabulary, or some other missing link. We try to fill in the missing parts and usually their reading skills shoot up pretty quickly once we figure out exactly what they need.

What great students, though! They come to school, they work hard, and they make great progress. It's not every day that you get to work with students who are so dedicated to their own education.
