Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Learning Disability in Reading Bobby has a learning disability in reading. He is overwhelmed by long reading passages, because he cannot read on grade level. Bobby needs to learn about main idea and supporting details. The teacher provides Bobby a story on his reading level. Bobby only has to identify the main idea while the rest of the class must identify the main idea and supporting details. Are there other ways to address this student's need? How? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If you only ask Bobby to identify the main idea you are changing the assignment completely and not just modifying it to meet his needs. If you provide him a shorter passage or a passage on a lower Lexile level that still allows him to identify main idea and supporting details you are still addressing the standards but doing so in a way that allows Bobby to master the standards.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great way to modify the lesson to fit Bobby's needs while also ensuring that he gets the same lesson that the rest of the students are getting.
