  Case: Help Me Help Him.
I have a DES student that is extremely low. I am currently in the process of fighting for him to be in a smaller, one on one placement. He is a wonderful boy, but he is so far behind grade-level and he is unable to read much (including sight words), that he needs one on one or very small group instruction in order to get anything done. With a class of 25 students, I just do not have the ability to teach everything one on one with him, and when I am not working with him he is just coloring or staring into space. I tried to put him on computer reading programs, such as Starfall.com, but he even has trouble working the computer on his own. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can more effectively reach this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could request a parent volunteer or peer teacher student to come on just to help the student stay on track and help with his learning. This year I have used a high school student as support for my low student.

Comments: I think that parent involvement is a good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of parent volunteers, but I will try to chase some down!

Comments: Out of all the solutions, I feel like this is the best approach to this situation. You can't do much when you have 24 other kids so having a volunteer parent or peer teacher student to come and help can be the best option for the boy.

Comments: Its unfortunate, the reality in the classroom is that you do not have time to devote to one-on-one instruction when needed. I would ask for help as well.
