Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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!) I would devise simple word problems with short, non-complex sentences; however, the sentences would revolve around something that he is interested in. This would allow for his attention to actually be focused in on what he is reading, as well as, allowing for a sentence that is easily read and understood.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Very helpful suggestion.
