Teaching Strategies
~Language Arts
-Use word banks for
assignments with blanks like
closed note taking, or
worksheets so she doesn't use
words that aren't there
-Write the words on the board as
well as having them on the
worksheet so she can see
me writing them, and explaining
what part of the notes or
worksheet it is for, so that
she has the visual of me
writing and explaining
-Have her write a creative
sentence using the words
~Math
-Use manipulatives like blocks, or
note cards that can help her see
and visualize what she is doing
-Make videos of myself working
out problems on the board if its
an online class and if not then
just work them out on the board
so she can see and visualize
what she needs to do and how
~Science
-Let her pick her lab and partner
so that she can be more
comfortable when working
-Record myself doing the lab so
she can visualize and follow
along better and feel more
comfortable
~History
-Watch videos so she can see
what happened and understand
better what it looked like
-Bring in props like outfits and
weapons so she can actually
visualize and put herself in the
time/era of whatever I am
going over

Assessment (Testing) Strategies
~Language Arts
-Get one on one with her and
have her take tests orally, I say
the definition and have her say
the vocab word out loud
-Do the test just like how I did
the notes in class, write the
words on the board, tell her she
is taking a test, give her the test
with definitions on it just like
the worksheet in class, read
her the definition, and then
have her say or point out what
word goes with the definition
and erase it from the board and
have her cross it out on her
paper so she doesn't choose
that word again
-Take a video of myself taking
the test and explain what I am
doing as I am taking it so she
see me and visualize her doing
it herself.
+Have her relate the words to
a favorite book or poem to
help her study
~Math
-Let her use a whiteboard to work
out her problems, and keep
track of her work and what she
does (this is more interesting
for her rather than working it out
on pencil and paper)
-Read the word problems to her
and point to each part and
explain it
~Science
-Use pictures and have her match
the terms to the pictures (it is
more visual and interactive for
her rather than a test with paper
and pencil)
-Use stories as examples, for
example if the term is
photosynthesis, ask about a
plant in a book, and ask what
process it uses
~History
-For characters like kings and
queens, dress up and ask who
I am (it is more visual and
interactive, maybe even use the
same outfits as when I was
teaching it)
-If it is a place, use pictures of
places, and take them out after
she picks that place for a name
