The reading curriculum we're provided doesn't work for our lowest students so my team has purchased one that does work wonderfully. The only downside is that we don't have physical copies of the books that go with this curriculum. We've been using either a YouTube reading or a digital copy of the book. Not having a physical copy of a book is a real challenge for my struggling readers. They need to see it. They need to be able to flip the pages back and forth. There's a difference in comprehension when they're *watching* a story on YouTube as opposed to READING it on their own.
Being able to purchase these books for them to use will greatly improve their ability to actually read a story rather than have a story read to them.
