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!) Do you know if he has any issues with reading, such as dyslexia? I would also try to adjust the wording on your problems and make them easier to read. You could also read them to him so he understands fully, and try to keep his grade from being effected.
