Dan entered my classroom this year with only minimal phonemic awareness due to a traum@tic br@in injury.
When we started, he could only recognize the alphabet with approximately 60% accuracy.
Today, Dan read:
mat
hat
fat
bat
These are the first words he's read in three years.
This is the reason why I teach.

When nothing can go right for years, it's things like this that make one's entire existance worthwhile.
Apple Teach?
i've been teaching sped for 23 years and i totally understand how you feel. i tell new teachers that they can't save everybody but if they can make a difference for 1 kid a year, it's a victory.
That is what makes teaching rewarding. When you feel you made a difference in their life.
