  Case: Sweet and low
Mrs. Smith has a new student added recently to her first grade classroom. This student is a very sweet student, but a very low student academically. She cannot copy onto paper from the board, cannot recognize print and needs one to one help with every assignment that is given. Mrs. Smith's school does not allow moving grades, as she has asked about possible Kindergarten placement. How can this student have a successful year in first grade?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Smith could offer tutoring to this student before or after school to help give one-on-one instruction. Mrs. Smith should also look at this student's file to see if they went to Kindergarten or if they have an IEP or if they qualify for ESOL. Mrs. Smith needs to make sure this student has time during class to read with a friend who might be on the same reading level, listen to books on RAZ-kids.com, match letters in starfall.com, and have lots of hands-on activities. The student will need more picture cue cards around the room and her own picture word wall to make a list of words they are working on in 1st grade. Mrs. Smith could also start the RTI process and collect 6 weeks worth of data to make sure the student receives help in class.
