Question

Jackie is a well-behaved ninth grader who is reading four grade levels below the rest of the ninth-grade class. Mr. Atom, the science teacher, wants to include her with the rest of the class, but he is unsure how to accommodate Jackie due to her reading disability. Which of the following suggests an inappropriate accommodation for Jackie?A) Pair Jackie with a lab partner who can help with reading, but hold Jackie accountable for completing the labs and writing up her results.B) Allow Jackie to complete easier science labs from the fifth grade science book, because the book is at her reading level.C) Provide Jackie with audiotapes of the labs and textbook chapters, so she may listen to them at her convenience.D) Allow Jackie to have her science tests read orally, or allow her to use technologies that "read" print for her.

Answer 1

C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie should be given the same opportunity to learn as all her classmates. Also, she should be challenged at the level she is operating on. If Jackie is given a partner that is made to read to her this is passing the responsibility to another student and this is not fair. Giving Jackie a book that is at her level could solve the problem of her reading but her comprehension skills and reasoning skills may be beyond that of her reading skills. It is best for her to receive supplementary material to listen to in order to keep up with the class work. There was no indication that Jackie has a comprehension or listening disability and should not be made to operate at a level lower than that if there are other available technologies or programs that can allow her participate fully.
