Take your students on a journey of self-discovery now and download
your copy of the Building
Wings Reader's Theater! These materials were developed by educators
in Schaumburg School District 54, IL and are designed to help students
explore different learning styles by acting out scenes from the book and
documenting their feelings using compare and contrast worksheets and
visualization charts.
Don Johnston’s auto-biography, Building Wings: How I Made It Through
School, describes Don’s personal journey growing up as a struggling
learner. Building Wings traces Don’s life through an incredible list of
challenges, triumphs and real-world accomplishments to inspire other
struggling readers. The book is written on a 3rd grade reading level and
has stimulated hundreds of conversations among educators about the
unfortunate practice of labeling struggling learners as behavior
problems. This happens when students camouflage their learning
disabilities rather than risk appearing ‘stupid’ in front of their
peers.
Winning entries were selected based on a rubric involving creativity,
originality, Web 2.0 multimedia and overall presentation quality. Each
school received a Start-to-Finish® Audio, Computer and
Paperback Collection. No purchase was required to enter the 2008
Building Wings Reader’s Theater Contest.
Don Johnston and our staff wish to thank...All educators
and students who
submitted presentations, letters, testimonials, videos and audios about
the positive impact Building Wings has made for struggling readers.
