E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. Provide student with traceable vocabulary words instead of just
a blank sheet of paper to write them.
2. The seating chart can be rearranged so the student is not sitting
close to a group she is likely to talk to.
3. Dividers can be put up between students while working independently
so they are less likely to interact.
4. The student can orally identify the vocabulary words by showing
her pictures and asking what it is instead of making her read them.
5. The student can be allotted more time to finish her reading or
writing assignments.
6. The student's parents can be given an outline of the lesson plan
and extra worksheets to work on at home.
7. The student can be given less vocabulary words required to learn
than the rest of the class (i.e. if most students have to know all
four, she has to know at least three.) |
