8th Grade Dyslexic/ADHD Curriculum Bundle
Designed for eighth graders who have signs of, or have been diagnosed with, dyslexia/ADHD. These journals help students learn using a fun approach. We’ve included our Dyslexia Games curriculum program as a therapeutic intervention for dyslexic and struggling learners. All of our materials use a dyslexia-friendly font and are designed with dyslexic students in mind, though any child can use them.
Lessons are easy to plan and prepare. Each day students will complete different learning activities within these journals. They can work independently, in a small group, or as a full class. Our journals are easy to adapt to the individual needs of each student as well. An entire school year of creative and interactive learning ready to go for your classroom.
Students with ASD, ADHD, and Processing Disorders may also use this bundle.
Includes:
12 Subject Portfolio: Document learning in 12 core subjects all in one book. Students can study independently or record information learned in class-wide projects and presentations. This is the perfect portfolio to prepare students for more independent learning and note taking in high school.
Heroes & Villains of History: Throughout history, the world has seen plenty of heroes and villains. Students love to learn about the “good guy” and the “bad guy.” In this journal, kids get to be the judge and decide who is the hero and who is the villain. Students will research over 30 different historical figures from throughout the world and the ages. For each person, students will learn about their accomplishments, family, life, beliefs, and more. After their research is over, they’ll decide if that person is a hero or a villain.
Learn Any Foreign Language: This is a unique and creative approach to document foreign language learning. Students will research new words and phrases, then memorize and practice them in fun ways.
Pondering the Past: This book includes a short introduction to 30 classical stories with three pages of illustrations, copywork, learning prompts, and research activities for each story and author. Your students will cover literature and history in one book.

Suggested Schedule
Below is a suggested schedule for your classroom or homeschool. The page amounts listed under each title are the suggested number of pages to complete in a week. We know each day will vary and some days you might get through more and others less. It’s meant to give flexibility while still completing the journal in an entire semester or school year.
This is based on a typical 180-day/ 36-week long school year. Adjust as needed if your school, or family, follows a different schedule. We’ve also included a few tips and notes when needed.
