  Case: Letter Sound Struggle
A student in Mrs. Lauer's class is struggling to identify letters. He has learned five letters and has been in school for 49 days. His mother expressed concerns of him having a learning disability due to family history. He is just not grasping the concept of letters and sounds. The letters are being introduced to him in small amounts, such as three a week and even one or two a week. Nothing seems to help. Any suggestions on what to do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One thing to keep in mind is the student's language background. If the student is learning a language different than home, this may be a part of the challenge. Also, incorporating a variety of activities relating to the letters and sounds the student is working on is critical. This will enable the student to practice what they are learning, while the teacher records notes on progress. If progress is not being made, speak with team members that may have alternate strategies. After putting these strategies in place, check with mom to see if any progress is being made at home. If not, meet with school members to decide what steps to take next to help the student.
