Introduction
The aim of the assignment is to do a case study
of reading diagnosis, instruction and recommendation. Reading plays an
important role in studies and student should read lesson. Student learn
differently that at different ways not all students will develop in the same
way same rate. It is important that a student who has reading difficulties are
best addressed when they are got at young age. When a student has a disability
he or she has been formally identified. We should provide the targeted
instruction to remediate difficulties and increase skill level. Early reading
skills are essential for becoming a great student.
World health organization explained about Disability
is any restriction or lack, resulting from an impairment, of ability to perform
any activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human
being. Eighty percentage of
disability lives are poverty, marginalization and inadequate educational
opportunities (UNDP, 2003) .
Indeed, as Harlan and Robert (Harlan & Robert, 1998) pointed in their
discussion of the Americans with Disabilities Act, “There is a great difference
between passing a law and the social process that leads to actualization of the
intended reform” (p. 398).
Background of the child
Be aware of how
each child is doing. A student between 5 to 7 years should be checked, for
example he or she has a much more difficult time than other students in pronouncing
or rhyming words or in learning numbers the alphabet, the day of the week colour
or shapes (Griffin, 1998) . The
student who has the disability in reading are unable to find great adventures
that unlock the imagination and enhance the creative mind. So Sam has been with
kindergarten he expressed difficulty in learning letters and sounds. So when he
moved to grade 1. We hoped he would get some improvement but he didn’t. A survey report says that in Maldives 30,000 disabilities are there,
government giving pension and care to the disabilities (Treasury,
2015) .
The development delay happens because of surrounding behavior acceptance of
disability, understanding of disability are very less. There discrimination
avoiding when common work place. He could not realize and practice the
activities so it affect his social developmental delay. And parents used to
have other kids than that disable kid. So their concentration about the normal
kid education arrangement expenses and life future. But the idea of disabled
children have to participate in community or country scale decision making that
is vital to improve their lives and fulfilled the development (Lunt, 1994) .
Summary of observation
The student Sam
has difficulty with reading it can be a challenge to teachers and emotional for
both parents and students. Sam has good grass mote skills and has many same age
friends. He has difficulty with handwriting he has always been considered
complaint and good at following adult’s directions. Sam lives with his parents
and older sister. There is no family history of reading disabilities. Birth and
growth is remarkable. He has normal sleep and growth and no history of bed wetting.
When he asked to read an essay so frequently guessed words and seemed to use
the picture as clue. He was not a fluent
reader.
Diagnosis
of the problem
The problem of
disability in reading of a child Sam is diagnosed, while he struggled to read
the words, unable to pronounce the word properly
Parents, Preschool and primary teachers play
an important role in providing education to a child. The child Sam with reading
is found by teacher and parents in the age of 6. He is very much struggled to
read the words. So in the early age we find this difficulty it is easy to cure
by giving targeted instruction.
Instructional
Strategies and evaluation of the child’s progress
The child with this
reading disability will be improved through handling some instructional
strategies. They are
v Record the students reading aloud on their own
v Ask the kids to use fingers to follow reading
v Teach vocabulary early
v Create a stress free environment
v Ask the student to repeat the word he read
Then after this
practice we have to evaluate his improvement. It he gets improvement we can use
this remedial measures or otherwise we can use other method which is suitable
for him.
Recommendation for future instructions
Recommendations regarding reading practice had
developed sufficiently in the scientific world. Nowadays more information
literature we have to give clear guidelines for this improvement in reading.
v Giving
frequent opportunities to read
v Sufficient practice in reading to
achieve fluency.
v giving opportunity to write
Conclusion
The child with this
disability or dyslexia has been identified in his early age. So the measures
which has been taken to help the child to overcome his disability is easier.
The chid with the good environment, his reading ability is not good. So his
background of birth is not at all a reason for his disability, so it is really
a solvable problem of him. we identify the problem is earlier. So 90 to 95
percentage of this problem will be solved by taking all this remedial measures
that child will get good future and become a great student.
