I chose resources that can help my students be comfortable with their surroundings and some of their sensory needs. I believe this will help them learn to both read, and comprehend what they read.
While sitting at a desk, my students are not always fully engaged and their sensory needs keep them from sitting still, however, on a couch or a bean bag chair they can get the sensation they need while staying focused with reading. That is why I have asked for help obtaining a couch and a bean bag chair for my students, along with a radio to listen to some books on CD. My students can be more relaxed during reading time and it can give me as their teacher a chance to show them the wonders of a story and its content, not just the pictures. The reason I choose a radio as a resource is because not all the students are able to read, and most do not like headphones on, so hearing the story out loud from a CD can definitely help them follow along the story.
