Next year, I am sure I will get this type of group again and I want to better serve them with reading skills because most of them at not anywhere near their grade appropriate level. What can I do to teach these students how to catch up with their reading skills? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Use assessments to determine specific needs of students and then group students accordingly and work in small groups. You can teach specific reading strategies, phonics patterns, math skills, etc. to certain groups of students that need specific skills. Go back and look at standards for the previous grade- level. What standards are the students missing? You seem to be well aware that students are not going to be able to master second grade standards when they are missing kindergarten and first grade skills. EIP classes need help filling in the gaps that they are missing.
