Other Details
Learning Needs
Learners will experience this story as I read it to them, acting out portions, creating voices and engaging learners that my struggle with reading comprehension. Students can follow along as I read or can just listen and learn.
Sources
Parents should note that the guided reading is directed towards a middle school reading level and experience. However, it does involve some graphic elements that are not overly discussion class, but are present. We will not read the entire story in this self pace class and thus it is not necessarily as graphic as the full story.
