Leveled Reading Passages

My highly structured, high-interest fiction and nonfiction reading passages are now packaged conveniently by level. These materials are intentionally designed to eliminate the complex English structures—such as figurative language and implicit meaning—that often inhibit deaf students' independent reading success.

Mindbloom is an exciting new resource that our school is using with our deaf and hard-of-hearing students, as well as students with language-based learning disabilities. The students love reading the passages — the short and repetitive sentences make these stories accessible and engaging. Additionally, the content and format are sophisticated — a great benefit for older students with reading difficulties. Thanks for this great resource!
