Using Challenges to Get Students Thinking
Using challenges or puzzles at the beginning of a lesson will help engage students in the lesson and learning process. Challenges like this not only engage students in the learning process, but they also provide a quick informative assessment that can help you determine what students need.
Reading Games for Tutoring
Reading Intervention Games for Tutoring. Poison Star is a great game to review old and new skills. Students get to practice their segmenting, decoding, blending and reading skills with this game and build fluency with practice.
Reading Tutoring Activities That Work
Tutoring activities for reading interventions are critical. They need to review new skills, integrate old skills, provide opportunities to practice, challenge students and be engaging. This activity does that. By chunking words into beginning sounds (consonant, blends, digraphs) and ending sounds (vowel with a blend or digraph) on cards that students can manipulate, students can practice their reading skills and complete challenges that have students access their phonological awareness. This activity is a great tool for reading interventions and tutoring.

Using a connect five game during interventions to review foundational math concepts for multi-digit multiplication. This is a great way to support student learning and review key concepts.
Holiday Learning Strategies
Halloween is coming up.
As a Special Educator and teacher I find that students need a bit of leeway on the days leading up to, the day of, and the day after Halloween. I like to use those days to review concepts previously covered by playing games.
