The Themed Project-Based Learning Approach (TPBLA) is a program I created to teach my developing readers by providing them access to the curriculum and their IEP/MTSS goals in an authentic, fun, and unique manner. The projects center on a high-interest theme and are created in deliberate conjunction with student learning targets. This technique has significantly enhanced my students’ engagement; thereby allowing them to progress in their reading goals and increase their ability to delve deeply into a topic, think critically, and effectively communicate.
