Marcus
Age:
7 years two months Disability:
Specific Learning Disability
Present Level of Performance
:
Marcus is a second-grade student who qualifies for special education services in the areas of reading comprehension and reading fluency as a student with a specific learning disability. He struggles with decoding grade-level words and cannot correctly answer grade-level reading comprehension questions related to what he has just read. When material is read to him, Marcus can answer grade-level comprehension questions. According to standardized testing, his reading comprehension is at the 1.0 grade level. When given a timed test at the first-grade level, Marcus can correctly read 30 words in two minutes. Marcus also needs help with written expression.
Marcus can perform at grade level in math, his preferred subject. Marcus appears somewhat reserved around his peers, and his parents would like to see him become more social.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
The 2
nd
grade classroom setting has a general education teacher and special education teacher that provides inclusion and pull-out support. Marcus currently qualifies for special education services as a
student with specific learning disability in reading fluency and comprehension. Marcus is below grade level when he is reading independently but shows that he is able to comprehend on grade level
when the assignment is read aloud. In his IEP, he requires support in comprehension, reading fluency, and written expression. National/State Learning Standards:
Common Core State Standards:
RF.2.3 a. Distinguish long and short vowels when reading regularly spelled one-syllable words.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Objective (Explicit)
Student will be able to (SWBAT):
decode the vowel sound short /e/ in one-syllable words.
to distinguish the short /e/ sound in one-syllable word within a sentence. (GCU, 2024)
Sub-objectives
SWBAT sound out words phonically (GCU,2024)
SWBAT differentiate between different phonemes (GCU,2024)
Academic Language
Short /e/ sound- bet, fed, led, bed, pen, Ben, Ted, web, red, pet, wet
Long /e/ sound- feet, meet, seat, teeth
The above words have either the short /e/ or long /e/ sound. These words will be used in the reading materials that will be assigned I order to assist Marcus to read on his grade level. Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:
Short /e/ Vocabulary list
Short /e/ paragraph
Short /e/ Book Jen
Short /e/ Word Search worksheet Short videos viewed on a smartboard: Short /e/ video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1VTHOfIO4E

Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
Students will watch two short videos about short and long /e/ sounds. As a class, we will read a book called Jen to assist students with learning the difference
in the short and long /e/ sounds. Time
Needed
10
minutes
Multiple Means of Representation
The teacher will start a conversation with the student, asking the student what the different sounds the different vowels make. Teacher will then lead into conversation about the /e/ sound and it makes two different sounds. Teacher will tell the student that today's objective is to work on the short /e/ sound. Teacher will review the short and long
e sound with student, teacher will ask student about learning it in the past. (How did you learn these sounds? How do you remember which sound to make?) Teacher will tell student that we are going to read a paragraph and look for the short /e/ sound.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs for Marcus:
Marcus will be able to highlight the words by using the color blue for short /e/ and red for long /e/, in order utilize his classwork assignments while completing homework. Prior to practicing at home, Marcus will be able read to aloud for better comprehension.
What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? 1. I will include YouTube videos, flash cards, short stories, and picture cards to teach students the difference between short and long /e/. 2. Reading over a vocabulary list with short and long /e/ sounds. 3. Reading aloud to students to highlight short and long /e/ words by color coding.
Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? Students that will need additional challenges consist of students on grade level, students who complete their assignments within two minutes, and students who performs higher than their grade level. All students will receive bonus words to identify, visuals, technology apps such as i-Ready, and higher grade level readings. Time
Needed
30
minutes
Modifying a Lesson Plan
What co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement? There will be
rotatations to three stations that are taught amongst the lead teacher, assistant teacher and special education teacher.
The lead teacher will have students indentify long /e/ words from a vocabulary list.
The special education teacher will have students identify short /e/ words from picture cards.
Students work on identifying /e/ sounds from flash cards with assistance from the assistant teacher or paraprofessional. Multiple Means of Engagement
Teacher will have the student read the paragraph that emphasizes the short /e/ sound. The
teacher will help the student if needed. The teacher will then have the student highlight the short /e/ sounds. Teacher will explain that it is a short /e/ sound because of the CVC/CVCC pattern.
How did you know to use the short /e/ sound? What would it sound like if you used the long /e/ sound?
Student will read the paragraph. Student will highlight the words with the short /e/ sound.
Student will ask and answer questions.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs for Marcus:
What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? The student will have a shorter vocabulary list, color coding short and long /e/ and providing visuals and read aloud.
Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? Students that will need additional challenges consist of students on grade level, students who complete their assignments within two minutes, and students who performs higher than their grade level. These students will be assigned additional words to identify, words assigned based on their grade level, check for understanding, and utilizing i-Ready to improve reading comprehension. Time

The lead teacher will have students identify long /e/ words from a vocabulary list by incorporating movement.
The special education teacher will have students identify short /e/ words from picture cards.
Students work on identifying /e/ sounds from flash cards with assistance from the assistant teacher or paraprofessional. Multiple Means of Expression
Teacher will tell the student to read aloud the mini book and highlight the short /e/ sounds. Teacher will visually assess student while working, teacher will ask and answer questions. Why did you highlight that word? How do you know it is not pronounced (use long /e/ sound in place of short /e/ sound)?
Student will read the book aloud. Student will highlight the short /e/ sounds. Student will
ask and answer questions.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs for Marcus:
What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? Assigning fewer vocabulary words, audible and read aloud of the book Jen, and color coding some short and long /e/ words.
Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? Students that will need additional challenges consist of students on grade level, students who complete their assignments within two minutes, and students who performs higher than their grade level. These students will be assigned additional words to identify, words assigned based on their grade level, check for understanding, and utilizing i-Ready to improve reading comprehension. Time

Rationale
Marcus is a 2
nd
grader in an inclusion classroom setting; he qualifies for special education
services with a specific learning disability in the fluency and comprehension of reading. He can read and comprehend on a 1
st
grade level independently. Marcus needs help with unfamiliar words with the short and long /e/ sounds. Accommodated reading materials and technology are
Modifying a Lesson Plan
suggested for Marcus to reach his potential goals. Marcus’s accommodations include modified assignments, visuals, read-aloud, movement breaks, and extra time to complete his tasks. Providing students with accommodations allows them to be taught the general education curriculum (Kessler and Schneider, 2020). For Marcus to reach the goals stated in his Individualized Education Plan (IEP), he must be given multiple ways to interact and learn the content being taught. Allowing Marcus to access reading material on his reading level and scaffolding his assignments will give him an equal opportunity to learn the general education curriculum. Universal Design for Learning
Implementing a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach will allow all students the chance to be successful. UDL is designed to enhance the learning for all students (CAST, 2018). Providing Marcus with reading material on his reading level, read-aloud audiobooks that provide visuals, and text-to-speech will help improve his reading comprehension and retention. Reinforcements should be placed, such as color coding, short videos, and a shorter vocabulary list when completing assignments and checking for understanding. This will ensure that Marcus has the same access in the general education setting and does not draw attention to his learning disability. References:
