  Case: Low literacy
Student is not doing her work. She is keeps interrupting class and being extremely disruptive. She argues with other students. She is aggressive verbally and physically. She talks back and mocks the students. The issue I feel is that she is extremely low reader. She is a level g reader in the fourth grade. She is not receiving any services. I am working on gaining data for services but what is a suggestion you have for this student.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student is probably acting out because she is insecure about her reading level. She is not as great as a reader as the rest of the class which makes her act out to draw the attention away from it. She may need to be put into a remedial reading class or setting where she gets one on one help to better her reading level. In the meantime, you could have the student sit closer to your desk to see if she refrains from acting out as much. Also, give her incentives when she does well.
