Increase student use of manipulatives and tools of
technology to learn skills and concepts and reinforce learning.
Utilize books on tape - student listens and follows along in
text.
Teach active reading strategies (i.e., SQ3R), summarizing,
identifying main ideas, story grammar skills.
Allow use of calculators, graph paper to align numbers,
charts, manipulatives, and other aides for math.
Teach math facts using mnemonics to make rhymes.
Set math facts to music and practice at regular intervals.
Provide several process examples in math.
Increase instruction to explicitly teach: the writing
process, prewriting strategies, handwriting, coherent and expanded sentence/paragraph
writing, written organization, mechanics, editing.
Modify written work requirements (e.g., shorten assignment,
allow student to dictate responses, allow to print rather than write in cursive).
