  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!)
A lot of times when students struggle with reading skills, math questions are allowed to be read out loud to them. I would check to see if this is a possibility. Reading the math questions out loud to the entire class will help him not to be singled out.

Comments: I like your response, that is what I was thinking. To read the questions aloud. However, this does not help his reading skills. He will need something extra to help with his reading comprehension.

Comments: While it may help in the immediate sense, and individual work and such would not help him in the long run. This may be something to do at the beginning, but extra reading time may be a good way to help.
