-I taught Reading and Life Skills/Environmental Print during my student teaching. It is designed to teach using multiple learning modes, and even includes characters that have disabilities.
-I also worked with the Bring the Classics to Life reading set, when I worked with the higher ability Reading class. It was amazing because the classics have been shortened for the students, each book included an audio tape, and comprehension lessons at the end of each chapter. AMAZING!
