Still, they cannot test out of the ESOL Program. They need to get a 3 on FCAT and pass the CELLA test. One of the students is a 6th grader who cannot read. He has difficulties with decoding simple words. I tried giving him a passage in Spanish, and he still could not read it. I suspect that there is more than just a language issue here. He is in 3 ESOL classes, but I think he needs other ESE support. What can we do for him when he is stuck in ESOL? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If the student can not read his assignments in either of his languages then there is definitely something going on here. Just as the others have said you should record some examples and then bring this to the administrations attention. You should also contact the school psychologist.
