  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!)
As the math teacher you really need to see if you can get him into a remediation reading class or program. You will never have enough time or resources to remediate his reading while still covering your math standards. If you focus on reading with him then his strength, math, could falter and he would not be successful at all.
