I need some ideas for my last hour class. I teach reading only and I have this class first hour for reading and then last hour again for “communication skills”. I plan on some days doing prodigy, maybe passion projects, and maybe reading groups. This class has a lot of sped kids. By the time last hour comes, they are all over the place. I need things to keep them from going crazy, but want it to be purposeful also. Any suggestion?

Hi, if you want really comprehensive structured reading resources take a peek!

I put on an appropriate video that speaks to new or review concepts. Sometimes I use a game on smartboard so they can all participate as opposed letting them sit on their own laptop.
