Modifications/Accommodations Made:
1) The student has a Specific Learning Disability in Reading, so I ensured the student was
aware of how each word was pronounced, even before independent practice.
2) Additionally, because of his SLD, I added the component of phonics. I modified the strategy
presented to me by my co-op because I thought it would benefit him to have additional
practice with phonics. This practice can also benefit his overall reading skills.
