These students are continuing to fall further behind in all subjects because of this reading deficiency. When they are given verbal instruction or have the tests read to them, they are able to pass. But, when they are not read to, they fail. Due to the fact that they do not have an IEP or 504 plan, reading the test to them is not an ongoing option. Any suggestion? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ms. Sands could give them a fluency test and see what their lexile score is. After she has figured out the lexile score, I would start taking them to the library and having them check out books on their level to build their vocabulary and comprehension. Once they have mastered those books she can move them on to the next level. This could be done during tutorial. She can write some comprehension questions for them to answer and have them participate in vocabulary activities to broaden their vocabulary. This should show growth with the student. While she is completing this , she could start progress monitoring to refer to the student to the SST process, if growth is not being shown.
