Important report on why communication and thoughtful engagement, and not standardized disciplinary responses, ought to be more seriously considered. And why teachers are to be more fully supported in problem-solving complex kids. We had Gary in literacy camp one year--lovely kid with a warm heart. Took a girl with Down syndrome to the camp dance, looked out for others, did great with Co:Writer and Write:OutLoud.

Taylor, a young girl who struggles with reading, engaged in repeated reading until she could read this text aloud fluently. Her tutor helped her record it and upload it to Youtube. Strong motivation for the research-supported but often boring repeated reading of text.

Reflection on reading motivation.
