This particular student is expected to take the Georgia Milestone like every other student. How can I show progression with this student and still have high, rigorous expectations? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I too have this problem with a number of the students in my classes. Unfortunately, GA Milestones is going to be a huge challenge for them, however, I've placed a high regard on reading in my classes. With 73% of our 7th grade population being below level in reading, I don't have any other choice. Below are a couple of websites that I use for my students, as they address the reading level of LLL and HLL. www.newela.org has articles and quizzes that are adjusted to fit varying lexile levels. During my 15 mins. of choice reading, I allow my LLL students to access readtheory.org to practice reading, comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning. This website is a great tool, because you can start them on their level (it goes from 1st grade to 12th grade) and it will adjust them based on their quiz scores. It allows you to track their progress, view their quizzes, and see their deficiencies immediately. Both sites are free to use.
