Entry #6

 

Diverse Learners

 

 





 

 

I have been in Kindergarten, 3rd, 5th and 6th grade for my service learning. the school has programs set up for kids that are not on reading level. They have a group called Success Maker to help the kids that are not to far behind and they focus on reading skills, and another phonic class that goes over different phonics and blends for reading and spelling. They also have the "Special Ed classes".  For the kids that are falling behind in reading and math.  I know they have an English as a second language for the Spanish speakers.

Schools are trying really hard to help the children learn. They give them every opportunity to ask for help if they don't understand something. They make accommodations for the slow readers or the readers that need help. I can talk freely about this because my kids need the extra help and go to some of these classes. I know my kids get every opportunity to make up homework, have a test read to them, have a scribe if they need it. The schools do not want the children to fall behind. My son doesn't write very well so the school got him a chrome book to type all his stories and assignments on.
