About the store
I have been teaching special education for 25 years in a variety of settings and grade levels. I have worked with students with disabilities including learning disabilities, behavioral difficulties, Autism, speech & language impairments, vision impairments, ADD and ADHD.
Most recently I became a certified Teacher for students with Visual Impairments. Adding this specialty certificate has allowed me to focus my knowledge of special education, learn and teach Braille to allow students with VI access to the curriculum.

Book Talk Cards - reading comprehension (non-fiction)
These are the basic format for asking and answering questions using low level non-fiction text. I used these by cutting the pages apart, gluing them to fun color paper & laminating the cards to stimulate discussion and teach my students how to hold a "book talk." The common core standards require students to work with non fiction text more than ever. This is a great way for students to lead the discussions. mrsmeyer822

A quick and easy tool for upper elementary/ intermediate age students to reflect on their effort during independent assignments. The students are asked to honestly evaluate their own effort and completion of assignments. The teacher then has the opportunity to discuss the results with the student.

reading bookmarks - differentiated (fictional text)
This is 3 different bookmarks I made for my students to use with the books they selected to take home from the classroom or the library. I simply check the level of the text & put the appropriate bookmark in the book. The headings on each let parents know what they should expect from their child in terms of reading the book and discussion questions to help their child discuss what they have read. mrsmeyer822

These book marks correlate with the WH posters available for free in my store. I use these to send with the students during independent reading time to help keep them on task. The students have the visual reminder of what they should be reading for that day. They can also be used for individual students as needed to focus their thinking.
There are bookmarks for Who, Where, What & When.

Experience
I have been teaching special education for 25 years in a variety of settings and grade levels. I have worked with students with disabilities including learning disabilities, behavioral difficulties, Autism, speech & language impairments, vision impairments, ADD and ADHD.

Teaching style
It is impossible to identify one teaching style when you work with students as unique as a fingerprint. Special education students may come with an "identifier" but it is not who they are. I teach students. I love meeting students where they are and working together to help them grow.
