 Ms. Clyne and I were talking about an action strategy for one of her learners,

M.R. He is a Tier 1 student who is provided guidance on the basis of his IEP. The learner needs

support because he's struggling with reading and writing. Ms. Clyne uses frequent repetition

which strengthens awareness when she needs M.R. To keep focused. One thing she said would

work with him to participate in conversation if something has to be addressed, such as reading

comprehension, she addresses pre-reading with M.R. He loves it so much that it was one of the

interventions that I saw her use, and it performed very well. He's in love with one learner.

Whenever he's not clear, he's answered questions, and when he gets it, he's done his job really

well.

The day I made my observation, Mrs. Clyne and her students welcomed me with delight.

The classroom was silent, with students remaining focused on getting their work finished. On

this day, I went in and they read a line from their reading. I didn't remember the title of the novel,

but I remembered the plot. The students stayed focused, and then Ms. Clyne broke the students

into small groups. However, this is M.R. I didn't want to be in a party, so I ended up working

with him on one he liked the publicity. I started asking me about the plot, what he liked and did

not like, and what was his favorite part. I was surprised how he told me about the story in the

middle and the end of the beginning. The problem I had with him was that he had to type it down

on paper. So, I wanted to have a chat with Mrs. Clyne to come up with some suggestions about

how to support M.R. Write down his paper-teaching. So, what she and I have come up with is

because of M.R. It's that if he says a phrase, he writes it down for me re-talking, with a lot of

repetition, and gives him gaps in between as he communicates his teaching.

 It was positive, because he wrote two pages on what he was reading. What I

observed most of the time working with  M.R., is that you've have to remind and constantly be

repetitive, him to keep focused. I enjoyed my time spent in this class and will visit again.
