  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!)
As the teacher, Mrs. Smith needs to determine the "why" behind her student's academic troubles. Does the student have previous schooling? Then, through differentiation, Mrs. Smith can build on what the student is able to do. With a sweet disposition often comes the desire to do well in class. Mrs. Smith will probably want to put a Tier 2 intervention in place with recognizing letters. Once these are mastered, she can move on to basic sight words. Encourage reading skills by having the student listen to books on tape, cd, an app, or on the computer. This will also build the capacity for recognizing print. EIP services would most likely benefit this student as well.
