Supporting where reading is tricky:
- Reading rulers, fingers or regular rules to guide through passages
- Pre- and post-teaching of key words
- Structured comprehension questions – do they need to write their answers or can they say them?
- Minimal reading aloud
- Assistive technology
- TIME – give students time to decode and make sense of passages
