How do you suggest to approach the instructional aspect of this program? Meaning, what skills are essential for struggling readers? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would begin with giving inventories to assess where the students are. I would separate them in to groups according to their abilities. This would ensure that you are meeting each student's needs. I am not sure of the grade level, but I teach 2nd grade and notice that phonics seems to be a major downfall. I typically start from there and build upon that.                 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: I think this is a good and well thought out solution.
