    As a special education teacher, I work extensively with struggling readers.Having a series of books geared to my 4th graders interests yet keying in on the skills they need would be wonderful. One of my success stories would be that of a 3rd grade student who said he hated reading when of course we knew he was frustrated and couldn’t read grade level material. He felt he was stupid so he would act out rather than read. At least when he misbehaved the focus was not on his reading ability. As the year went on, with lots of 1:1 and small group intervention, this child (though still reading below grade level) now considers himself a reader. In small group, reading at his level, he shines! He is able to not only read the text, but he also comprehends the text. It has been a real confidence builder!

    As a pre-service teacher a prize such as the Magic Belt series would certainly provide me with a fabulous resource to start my career. My successful reading story involves a student that I taught while on my recent practicum.
    Adam* didn’t like to read aloud, whether in a one-on-one situation, or as part of a small group. He was at the expected level of reading for his age and grade but his refusal to participate in reading aloud activities was beginning to impact on other areas of his learning.
    I used a story about the solar system to encourage Adam’s interest in reading. After reading the story to the class, I produced a Lego-type replication of the Solar System. With prior knowledge of Adam’s enjoyment of building things, I used this activity to ask Adam to read aloud the instructions for creating the 3D model to the class.
    Over the coming weeks, it was noted that Adam was increasingly participating and voicing his opinion in group situations. I continued to incorporate various activities that involved the reading of instructions. On reflection, it seems that Adam gained confidence with the other students being distracted by their building creations, rather than focused on him and his reading.

    My struggling reader was below kinder level when I started homeschooling in January. Now he’s at early first grade level 🙂 Having high interest decidable books would be a huge help in teaching him to love reading!

    I have taught my youngest children to read and am currently teaching my youngest. He would benefit from these.

    I am a third grade teacher and witness everyday
    Those who struggle to make the leap to I dependent
    Reading. My own daughter didn’t like reading til
    She was in between 5th and 6th and finally landed
    I. Books that grabbed her attention and took her
    On adventures. Would live to find more materials
    for my kiddos that do just that.

    I homeschool and my son in kindergarten had been struggling with reading basic words and one day we were visiting cousins and I asked the boy cousin that was closest in age to him to read with him. My son read the pages on one side and his cousin read the pages the other side. After that he seemed to really get the hang of it and started doing better. We are still struggling a bit in first grade but the majority of the improvement came from that day and him hearing a mother person around his age read and him realizing it didn’t have to sound perfect for him to “be reading”! Thank you for your books and all of the phonics books out there. They truly are so helpful.

    I homeschool and 2 out of my 4 children are readers. My son is in 1st grade and although he has proven he can read well, the pleasure of reading is just starting to click. I brought him a new book the other day and for the first time he was found nose deep in that book truly enjoying it and having to be told to read. He was reading for fun and that is one of the best, most “successful” moments for me as a homeschooling mom-knowing I taught him how to read. Would love to add these books to our library!
