  Case: Help Me Help Him.
I have a DES student that is extremely low. I am currently in the process of fighting for him to be in a smaller, one on one placement. He is a wonderful boy, but he is so far behind grade-level and he is unable to read much (including sight words), that he needs one on one or very small group instruction in order to get anything done. With a class of 25 students, I just do not have the ability to teach everything one on one with him, and when I am not working with him he is just coloring or staring into space. I tried to put him on computer reading programs, such as Starfall.com, but he even has trouble working the computer on his own. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can more effectively reach this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to administration and see what resources they can offer him while also working with him one on one as often as possible. If policy and parents permit it you could even discuss an after school study time for you to have more quiet time to reinforce what was taught in class.
