* Goal would be to move Susan from

Susan
emergent reading to beginning
reading
* She will need many opportunities to
see and experiment with written
language.
* Choral recitation and finger point
memory reading with predictable
books.
* Encourage to write.
* Guided reading and independent
reading daily. Struggling readers
only get better with practice
* Interventions on sight words in
context.
* Words Their Way would be beneficial
for Susan. This would give Susan
hands-on opportunities to
manipulate word features.
* Needs help with background
*
Susan has a sense of humor
and an eagerness to learn
knowledge. This would help
her to be better prepared to
understand what she is
reading.
* Comprehension
* Easily distracted or off taskbreak tasks into smaller
segments or give frequent
breaks
* Build her interest in reading.
Give her lots of successful
experiences reading.
* Needs books in her zone of
proximal development.
Teacher needs to model
reading with expression.
