A. A Hmong child who is on the 2nd grade level for both reading and vocabulary is in your 5th grade social studies class. He is an extremely bright child.  How do your plan to incorporate this child into your classes literature unit?

                            - This child would be in the lowest reading group in the class
                            - use symbols instead of the written language because Hmongs do not have a written language
                            - conduct pre reading
                            - test the student for reading level to be sure of his placement
                            - use pre taped reading for him
                            - use echo reading
                            - do picture sorts with this child
                            - have child work with a reading teacher or ESL teacher to read books before coming to class with groups
                            - have the word wizard person draw or cut pictures out to go with words
                            - have this child keep a vocabulary notebook of words and pictures

You have a child in your 5th grade class who has been labeled ADHD.  This child has found to be above grade level intelligence.  He complains all the time about being in class, after 10 minutes of instruction he no longer pays attention.
