Case: Low-ability readers
Ms. Reagan is a middle school reading coach who often reads with a huge number of low-ability readers during the day. When she asks her students whether they think they are good readers, most of them tell her, "yes," they read well. What her middle school students do not realize is that they only read on a third grade level. This could explain why these students do not well in their academic classes.
What should Ms. Reagan do to help her students learn what a good reader looks like and plan instructions to help them reach a higher level of reading?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Students need to see and hear models of above level readers, on level readers, and below level readers. If they only hear students reading who read like them, they will most likely think they are performing well. They could then record themselves reading a passage on the iPad and then identify themselves as one of the models after listening to the playback of them reading. |

| Comments: I thought this solution was a bit harsh. Instead of helping the student progress, this would just make him feel that he is a bad reader. Now we'll have to get him past that before he even picks up a book again. |
