One of my roles as a special education teacher is to ensure mastery of basic math facts because those facts are crucial when trying to understand higher math skills. I mainly work with elementary age children but am capable of helping struggling readers of any age. I am well versed in finding unique ways to reach my students. I realize that there is more than one way to teach material and what works for one student may not work for another. My goal is to find out what work...
