Strategies and Techniques
1. Keep it simple. Never use to many words or complex instructions. Rephrase word (s) if necessary.
2. Use many visual images. Sometimes I may use pictures, cut-out words, maps to help my students learn, or “charade” a word by providing hand/body or visual clues of a word.
3. The use of kinesthetics: have students tap-out sounds and trace words on paper, in the air or in sand.
Resources
1. My favorite resources are Wilson Readers, which offer tap-out techniques and reading comprehension practice.
2. Recipe for Reading workbooks provide good reading strategies.
3. And leveled nonfiction books of student interest. Nonfiction books help my students learn because they are easier to relate to and comprehend.

Your posts are interesting. I had originally planned to go into Special education, but life moved elsewhere. I almost wish I had. At least there is a push for this education now and more people are being drawn to it.
