He is overwhelmed by long reading passages, because he cannot read on grade level. Bobby needs to learn about main idea and supporting details. The teacher provides Bobby a story on his reading level. Bobby only has to identify the main idea while the rest of the class must identify the main idea and supporting details. Are there other ways to address this student's need? How? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If Bobby's ability to read is the problem, rather than difficulty with the content area then he can complete the same assignment with a lower level book. Additionally, the story can be read aloud to Bobby r he could complete the passage with shared reading with an instructional assistant, and then he can complete the main idea and detail activity.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great way to modify the lesson to fit Bobby's needs while also making sure he gets the same lesson that the rest of the class is getting.
