  Case: Special Education Reading Levels
I have a Special Education student in my third grade classroom who is currently reading on a first grade reading level. He is in my classroom for science and social studies, but is served in a resource classroom for all other subjects. He will be expected to take the Georgia Milestones assessment this year. Because of his reading level, he is not able to read texts that I provide in the classroom. What are some strategies I could implement in my classroom to ensure that he is being exposed to grade level standards that will be on the Georgia Milestones assessment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are a few things that you can do to ensure that he is getting grade level standards with literature. Number one, you can get books from the library based on his lexile level, but scan them to make sure that they cover adequate standards. Another thing you can do is to re-write some text yourself that replaces difficult vocabulary and sentence structures. Finally, you could also read aloud with him/her using simple reading comprehension strategies to help him with understanding.

Comments: I agree, if you cannot find the materials that you need, be creative and make your own. If they need to be exposed to higher level reading, make sure you read it as a class, and then discuss it together to check for understanding.

Comments: I definitely think that re-writing the text would help tremendously. Sometimes, textbooks can use difficult vocabulary that may not have been covered in the readings.
