  Case: Student Strong in Math but lacks Reading Skills
Johnny does very well in my co-taught Math class, his grasp of the math content is very strong. In most of the small group settings he is the first one to complete all the answers correctly. HIs number sense is very strong and he is able to comprehend any math concept with ease. However, his reading skills are very low, he is hardly able to decode CVC words or blend them. Therefore,his math grades are really low when it involves reading word problems. I would welcome any suggestions to help Johnny fare well in Math.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
For report card purposes, the math grade should reflect his math achievement. Read the word problems to him or have him read them to you to make sure that he understands what the problem is saying. Start him on RTI because often the discrepancy between math and reading shows a learning disability.

Comments: I agree that having the child read aloud may stop some of his issues when word problems are involved. I also believe that adressing this large gap between math and literacy skills is important.

Comments: Yes I agree! I think that when it comes to grades, the fact that every subject has so much reading and writing involved can make it hard for students who stuggle in those areas
