Title: Organizing Instruction for Struggling Readers in Tutorial Settings
Authors: Kouider Mokhtari, Amy C. Hutchison, Patricia A. Edwards
The above journal provides an example of a case study between one tutor and one student with low reading scores. This study like many others provides teachers or educators with teaching strategies to help a struggling reader. This case study is very specific and allows the educator to understand the necessary steps to help starting with first, an assessment of the struggling reader in the classroom and at home, second, using that assessment to determine an effective plan to help with troubling areas such as word identification and decoding strategies.
This is an interesting! I agree that assessment is important as a first step.
ReplyDeleteAssessment of the student's strengths, weaknesses, and interests of course should be first. Then specific strategies should be put into place that will help the child overcome his/her weaknesses. As every child is different, so will each individual intervention strategy. Many factors should be taken into consideration such as the student's ability to stay focused and avoid distraction. One intervention strategy for a student struggling with word identification may be for the student to conduct research and/or do a presentation on root words.
