This class is designed to support students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning disabilities with a low reading level book.  Students can use graphic organizers, create videos, or draw to respond to class posts and videos. 

Students will need their own copy of "My Weirder-est School #9: Mrs. Barr Has Gone Too Far" by Dan Gutman.  Students are welcome to read the book in hard copy or on e-book or audio book.  Text to Speech accompanied by reading can be a good strategy for dyslexic learners  as enlarging the print in e-book format.
