helping students with reading challenges.
providing more auditory learning tools can prove to be effective.
Greetings Kristi!
Good job! It sounds like you reenforce the key points from the very beginning. Then you repeat and tie to relavent discussion. I am convinced that repetition is the best teacher especially if each time topics are repeated there is a new tactic employed.
Keep up the good work!

In some of my courses, I have the students read the chapter first and then I lecture. While lecturing, I point out key topics/ vocabulary/ key points. But then I stop and discuss each area and try to relate it to the skills they are aquiring. I also check before discussion/ lecture to see if they have in fact looked at the text or have a clue as to what it is about. I do this in a group discussion. "What did you think about what you've read?, Do you see how you can apply it to your field of studies? How?", etc. This is a good indication as to a starting point of students with reading challenges. Because if a student is challenged, then they are probably going to skip the reading.
