Comment: There are likely to be several struggling readers in our classrooms. Unless we have several dedicated and consistent adult volunteers, it will be impossible for us to have a lot of time with these struggling readers where we can focus on their fluency. We want to help our students succeed, but there is a matter of time and ability.
Question: How can we incorporate these students' special needs into our class? Is it possible to create lessons or strategies that will specifically help these students? How can we help these students to improve their fluency and not let them fall through the cracks?
Those were fantastic questions! But one way that I think we will help struggling readers is by preparing guided reading lessons. Professor Wimmer explained that these lessons are very helpful for students who are struggling. They can also be designed so that those who are struggling get more one on one instruction and help. I really like the idea of guided reading sessions to help students who are struggling. I also think that one way we can keep students from falling through the cracks is by making sure they know that we care about them and their success in their academic work. As long as they know they are being cared for, then they are less likely to fall through the cracks. Thanks again for your questions. They were great!
