  Case: Special Education Reading Levels
I have a Special Education student in my third grade classroom who is currently reading on a first grade reading level. He is in my classroom for science and social studies, but is served in a resource classroom for all other subjects. He will be expected to take the Georgia Milestones assessment this year. Because of his reading level, he is not able to read texts that I provide in the classroom. What are some strategies I could implement in my classroom to ensure that he is being exposed to grade level standards that will be on the Georgia Milestones assessment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
According to the student needs, his IEP should indicate special instructions for him. He should start now with extra support on how to place his thoughts and explanations on paper. The Georgia Milestones Assessment does not require a right answer, as long as the student is able to explain how the came up with the answer.
