Case: Struggling Writer
A student in Mrs. Young's class is struggling to write. She is a kindergarten students who is low in English proficiency, however her peers that are at the same proficiency are advancing while she is not. She can read the sight words, "I, like, play, to" but cannot write the sentence "I like to play". She has been receiving interventions of fine motor skills but still doesn't seem to get it. Any suggestions on what to do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since the student can read sight words being used, transfer those words to index cards. Also, to teach capitalization and punctuation, put a capital "I" and a card with a "period" in the collection. Have the student create the sentence with the words on the cards, then transfer that into their writing notebook. Also, assign a student who is proficient in writing to be a "buddy" to help the student create sentences and cards for future writings. |

Comments: The buddy system can sometimes cause disruption. Might cause things that to get out of hand |
