Since working with SPED students the last 10 years, I’ve been looking for information that is easy to digest and that they can retain some of the information easily. The opportunity to be able to print some of the reading and comprehension sheets has helped enormously. They are short, simple, and to the point with an opportunity for the students to be able to express answers in their own way. I enjoy using them and the discussions they bring about from the students.
Thank You.
I look forward to helping my dyslexic students with fluency and comprehension. Love your curriculum!! Thanks so much!! Andrea Nelson
These sheets are very helpful for SPED students to use and comprehend the information and writing experience.
I love your material but it is all about America. It would be nice if you would include some Australian material too. Example reading comprehension. This would benefit American students also. They would get to learn about Australia.
Wonderful resource with my dyslexic students!!
