Here are a few ideas to make learning more accessible and less frustrating.  Check next week's post for ideas to accommodate writing.  You can also email for a complete accommodations guide that you can download.

Reading & Presenting

1. Provide audio versions of textbooks and chapter books through Learning Ally, Audible, Play-Away or other format.
2. Have high-low books available for independent reading.
3. Use computer, iPad, or other technology so papers and web information can be read out-loud to the student.
4. Allow student to pre-rehearse oral reading before giving a presentation or doing reader’s theatre.
5. Use a voice recorder to work on fluency.
6. Use a voice recorder to pre-record a speech to play to the audience.
7. Provide cover sheets or EZ readers to track text while reading.
8. Give hands on options (diorama, model, movie, etc) for presenting.
