Since Shameka began school, she has struggled to keep up with her classmates in reading. Now Shameka is in the ninth grade, and things are no different. Her class is so large that the teacher, Ms. Andrews, cannot meet all her students’ individual reading needs. Because of this, Shameka never wants to be called on and does not want to participate or offer her opinion in class discussions. Ms. Andrews wishes for Shameka to feel confident about sharing her ideas and participating in class activities.

Given the following scenario, write a paper that addresses the following:

  • Evaluate two strategies you would utilize in your instruction to support this learner (these can be individual or whole-group).
  • Analyze why these strategies would be beneficial for the learner. For example, consider what you may know about different learning styles, learner preferences, variations in literacy skills, and student engagement.
  • Assess when and how you think this strategy should be introduced. Is this a pre-reading strategy, during reading strategy, or a post-reading strategy?

Submit a paper which is 2 pages in length, exclusive of the reference page, double-spaced using 12 point, Times New Roman font. The paper must cite sources from this unit’s Reading Assignment in APA format.  Check all content for grammar, spelling and to be sure that you have properly cited all resources (in APA format) used.
