Supplementing for SuccessWho is using supplements? Everyone!I use them foradding more practicein a specific area, likespelling in an ELA program,or multiplication in amath curriculum.My students like tomake their own supplements,such as vocabulary note cards.They will color-code them forgrammar too — red bordersfor nouns, green for verbs,blue for adjectives, etc.I used them withmy student who left atraditional school at anawkward time, when it’s notpractical to purchase ayear-long program.I have used themto provide parallel instructionto our curriculum. They oftenhave streamlined examples andpractice to complement yourmain program in an areawhere kids arestruggling.I use them to meetthe needs of differentlearning styles with games,songs, manipulatives,or videos.They canoften be donewith littlesupervision.A supplementis perfect fortest prep, focusingon just those areasthat need work.Supplements aregreat for hitting thehigh points over the summer;whether for remediation, or tointroduce new skills and geta jump on the comingschool year.Notes:1Questions: .com
