Description

Unlike many adults, I don't have memories of one perfect teacher. Instead, I remember special moments with many teachers. I can vividly remember my band director glowing with pride following a field show and my fourth-grade teacher beaming as we recited the Preamble to the Constitution. As a public school teacher myself, I have now shared such feelings with my students. When I see eight little fingers glide smoothly over a line of braille dots, I feel like I have crossed over the rainbow and fallen into the pot of gold! But sometimes glory is paired with defeat. What can a teacher do with a child who just isn't getting it, who, despite my enthusiasm, dreads "braille time"? What can a teacher do with a child for whom reading is a chore? Although some people might expect a reluctant reader to be a low-achieving student, I have found that some of my lowestfunctioning students are the most excited to read. Many students feel a great sense of accomplishment when they can read a book or other materials at their ability level. Reluctant readers resist braille whether they are reading dual media (both print and braille) or beginning with braille alone; they tend to prefer any activity to reading. My job is to find the key that will unlock their curiosity.
