Mrs. Brookwest is a high school English/Language Arts teacher who notices that one of her 11th grade students has a significant deficit in his ability to spell words correctly. She feels that this could be a major problem for the student on all written exams. The students has an IEP but no condition which would directly link the student to an inability to spell. Mrs. Brookwest wants to help her student improve his spelling ability but all of the resources she comes across in research are written for a lower age group and she feels like worksheets intended for 4th grade students would be to condescending. What should she do in order to help improve his spelling? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher could create a list of words for student to study. This list does not have a grade level on it. If the student is aware that they are having trouble spelling, then the student should not have a problem with the assignment.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: You can not make it too obvious they are where they are level wise.

This kind of individual help is critical. If worksheets and 4th grade level work are going to help the student then the teacher should use them with the student.

Something g else needs to be done here Rated On: October 19, 2014 4:36 pm Rated By: amemuW
