-adapt student needs and curriculum materials based on ability so student can meet instructional goals; choose materials and tasks based on student needs; use relevant visual supports/technology/materials; make modifications by highlighting relevant information, changing task directions, reducing amount of material; 

I use explicit instruction in a word study in-class lesson with a small group. I incorporate words that the students are getting exposed to in the classroom and have worked with me in a separate setting during an Orton-Gillingham lesson. This way they are getting the double dose in and out of the classroom with specially designed instruction. During in-class word study I take a small group and I review the spelling rules for the words they have that week. Then we look at the words and sort them into the correct categories. We go over each word and look the meaning and orally use a sentence for each word. We then do multi-sensory/module activities to help practice the spelling sounds and then they do simultaneous oral spelling for 5 to 10 words and write one or two sentences after I dictate the sentences to my students.
