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!) The key to helping this student is remediation. It is very difficult to catch students like this up when the rest of the class is constantly moving forward. The teacher should leverage all possible resources to meet the needs of this student. Using a peer tutor, engaging the student in dialogue, or any other activity that helps the student increase her reading comprehension should help. The ESL teacher will also have strategies and resources to help this student.
