Fill the Gaps

Provide a story, set of instructions or math problem with segments missing. Ask students to fill in the gaps with items that make sense. To make this a more active game, provide half the class with various handouts containing missing information. Provide the rest of the class with those missing pieces of information. Challenge students to pair up correctly.

Origami

Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is a great way to teach sequencing without relying on the traditional verbal and mathematical skills that dominate most classrooms. To create origami, students have to process directions and proceed according to a specific sequence.2017
According to the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress, 33 percent of fourth-grade students tested below basic in reading on national exams. While no single intervention strategy has been determined to be the best, successful strategies can be integrated into each of the following instructional components: methods, development of cognitive processing, individual student practice and group work.

Instructional Strategies

The Center on Instruction suggests explicit instruction as a key intervention strategy. Explicit instruction includes a standard lesson, teacher modeling of specific steps to take while reading. Modeling includes showing how to hold a book, turn its pages and sound out difficult words. Systematic instruction, or teaching each step of a skill, is another intervention strategy. Students should reach mastery of each step before a new skill is taught. For example, students may first be taught to sound out words in a story. Then, they may be taught meanings of the words. Finally, students can be taught to read a story in its entirety. According to the Center for Instruction, verbal feedback throughout a lesson is another successful intervention strategy.

Developing Cognitive Processing

Research supports developing skills in meta-cognition for learners struggling with reading. The Center on Instruction suggests modeling self-assessment and self-awareness in the classroom. For example, a teacher might state the methods she will use before encountering a difficult text, while acknowledging that she might struggle. As students engage in independent practice, the teacher might ask a student to develop a plan for understanding a difficult task.
