When reading, Jacob continuously blinks and moves his head, skips lines, omits or transposes words, and loses his place often, even when using a place marker. He sits at the teacher's computer so he can follow along during PowerPoint presentations. Are there other ways to address this student's need? How? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The Special Education program in Jacob's school most likely has a highlighting place marker that may work for him. If whole sentences are too much, he may need to utilize one or two words at a time. There is an app called Read Quick that may help him. The teacher inputs a chunk of text, and the words per minute function is decided. One word at a time flashes across the screen and the student reads this way. I have seen this help students who struggle with following sentences and text wrapping.
