I am currently in the process of fighting for him to be in a smaller, one on one placement. He is a wonderful boy, but he is so far behind grade-level and he is unable to read much (including sight words), that he needs one on one or very small group instruction in order to get anything done. With a class of 25 students, I just do not have the ability to teach everything one on one with him, and when I am not working with him he is just coloring or staring into space. I tried to put him on computer reading programs, such as Starfall.com, but he even has trouble working the computer on his own. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can more effectively reach this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Group work is always a good go to, along with additional help from other school personnel.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I do not believe that this is the best solution for him since he is so low. I think one-on-one is the best answer.

I would not follow this advice.
