Think about one of your students (past or present) who seems to struggle to read. What does this look like to you? Who is the student? What grade/subject is he in? What type of assignment is he required to do and how is he struggling? Write a short paragraph that describes the student using the SETT framework. Do not provide ideas for the final T (tools) in your description. After you post, read at least two of your colleague's posts. For those posts, supply your ideas for the Tools that can help the student. Consider the AT continuum as you do so.

One of my third grade students struggles with decoding words. The students normally read a story together as a class during the week, and then take comprehension quizzes independently on Fridays. This student struggles immensely with some of those quizzes. When I am helping her work through the questions, she will try to read the questions out loud to me, which is how I recognized her decoding struggle. She does not get a fair chance to answer the question accurately because she cannot decode the question and answers. When I read the questions to her, and she thinks back to the story (which was read aloud earlier in the week), she knows the right answer almost immediately. She can evidently comprehend a story, but the decoding is a big issue for her.
