Students who struggle to read often have a hard time with reading comprehension. Some students are not fluent readers because they do not know their sight words. When students cannot read fluently they often struggle.
Students struggle to read for a whole slew of reasons. In particular right now, I am noticing my students struggle to read because they are all ELL learners and struggle with identifying the sounds a letter will make. They also are not very familiar with site words which also puts them at a disadvantage in comparison with monolingual classes in the same grade level. Another issue is that when a student struggles to read, practice can make a huge difference in their lives and a lot of the time help from home would make a vast improvement. However, most of the parents speak even less english than the children do and more often than not cannot read any better than the students.
