  Case: Enriching Students
I have a Kindergarten student that knows 270 of the 300 Fry sight words. During regular sight word instruction for the remainder of my students, she is very bored. What are some enrichment opportunities I could provide her with so she remains focused and doesn't get bored?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Find a learning strategy that the student enjoys, such as puzzles and find a way to incorporate them into her instruction. She could possibly be a teacher helper and she could help her classmates. (If I learned anything from my own children being in Kindergarten, they enjoy telling others what they know)

Comments: I agree to letting her be a teacher helper. However, I think that other students would get jealous that she gets to play games simply because she is better at things than them.

Comments: I do not think that she would be able to help other students at this grade level and she needs to still be doing work just something more challenging.
