According to the author, 8.7 million fourth through twelfth graders struggle to read their textbooks everyday while in school (Ness, 80). If the students cannot read their textbook, then it makes it real difficult for them to try and learn the material they are required to learn.

    It is still early in the year, and a lot of the student data has not been calculated yet, but from what I have observed, there is one student who is very new to English and is in ELL. Based on this fact an instructional strategy I would use is checking for understanding and questioning, a student who is new to English may have a hard time understanding what is happening, and may not ask for help. With this, if they do not ask for help, and the teacher does not check if they understand, the student will not do very well with assignments, and will not further their learning. An activity that can be used with this student is during reading, they have a more one-on-one learning environment, and have a list of simple questions, like who is in the story, where are they, and what is happening on this page, this will check if the student is understanding the story, as well as help them to answer these questions even when they do not have the paper.…

They propose, “When you're stuck, and you don't know what to do, don't do nothing-instead, fail. Making a specific mistake puts you in a different and better position than you were in before you started. And it's a forward step you know you can actually take.”…
