If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, I first need to understand what they have learned and then modify my strategy for teaching the concept. Sometimes it is a matter of reviewing the concept, and other times it requires going back to the basics and taking a new approach to the concept.

How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?

I have a few different strategies I use with students struggling with reading comprehension. I like to encourage reading with a purpose by presenting students with questions to consider while reading. I also ask students to come up their own questions as they read. Graphic organizers help some students with reading comprehension. I find summarizing to be a good way to check for understanding, and it also help students connect the ideas they have read.
