The multi-level instruction planning structure includes a place for me to enter my decisions for each of the process's activities. For each student in my class who requires further assistance, I will make precise judgments ranging from a short accommodation to personal aid in finishing the job. To discover the particular learner outcome(s) expected for this specific curricular aim, I will first evaluate the learner objective I will teach. Then, if applicable, I'll build an activity-based lesson that teaches this learner objective at the appropriate grade level. Through exploration, application, cooperative groups, or any other method that encourages student engagement, activity-based instruction engages the learner in learning. I'll evaluate the draft lesson after I've finished designing it to make sure it fits the two criteria of being on-grade level and activity-based. I'm going to go over the learning characteristics of my students. Are there any pupils who you believe will struggle to master the learner target in your course without some tweaks or extra help? What are their names? These kids will be listed in the first column of the form's extra instructional decisions section. Finally, I'll finish the series of questions that will help me determine the level of adaptation that each kid on this list will require in order to participate successfully in this class.

Checklist for identifying reading difficulties at each of the levels of text
Tick each box that identifies the student’s demonstrated reading behaviour and give examples.
Levels of text
Knowledge of writing conventions, the 'what' of reading.
Examples of the student's demonstrated reading behaviour
WORD LEVEL
The student:
has difficulty blending sounds to form a word has difficulty sounding out words into sounds
(segmenting) has difficulty identifying letters and/or letter clusters takes longer to recall names and sounds of letters,
letter clusters and words
has difficulty using letter cluster knowledge used in one
word to assist reading another word with a similar cluster pattern- analogy (eg. Reads went, should be able to read sent, want.) doesn’t recognise letter clusters (e.g. sp-ent) or
digraphs (e.g. oa / th) in words is inconsistent with letter identification, learning the
visual code
The student relies heavily on these reading strategies; predicts words on the basis of an individual letter and/or
a letter cluster
converts each letter to a sound and blends sounds overuses picture cues to read an unknown word segments words into letters or inappropriate clusters (e.g. wi-nd-ow)
SENTENCE LEVEL
The student:
has restricted, immature grammar
demonstrates limited use of punctuation to gain
sequence of meaning
is less likely to use rehearsal and/or chunking strategies has limited recall of a story just read
does not re-read sentences to assist comprehension does not paraphrase text read
has difficulty generating questions about text has difficulty visualising information from text reads word-by-word, with uneven flow, in monotone
CONCEPTUAL AND TOPIC LEVELS
Knowledge may be organised in episodes with contextual links
rather than in a networked format
The student:
makes limited use of prior knowledge to assist reading
new texts makes limited use of title & pictures as part of story
orientation
appears unable to link ideas occurring early in a text to
ideas that occur later in the same text
does not demonstrate knowledge of genre type does not elaborate, infer, predict and/or summarise
while reading
Self-management and control strategies
Examples of strategies you might see student's use are:
*initiate corrective action *decide when to re-read *review or consolidate what they have read
*monitor how their reading is progressing *take further strategic action if necessary * review and self-question
*self-correct *organise the information gained from reading to fit purpose for reading * uses contextual cues
Please tick the most appropriate box
This student has the knowledge and demonstrates reading strategies
This student has the knowledge but does not demonstrate reading strategies
This student does not have the knowledge or demonstrate reading strategies Overuses one or two of these reading strategies
Oral language knowledge
The student may have difficulty in oral language
at word level, learning how words are said ('crinimal' for 'criminal' )
less aware of sounds in words remembering names of items
difficulty building a word bank (receptive vocabulary) smaller expressive vocabulary difficulty learning word meanings
a less developed network of word meanings (e.g. antonyms,
synonyms)
at sentence level understanding complex grammatical forms in oral comprehension
at conceptual level how ideas are linked into themes
at topic or theme level how a theme is communicated in a narrative, description
at the pragmatic or dispositional level how the social context affects how ideas are communicated the attitudes and values of the writer towards the ideas in the text.
Examples of the student's demonstrated reading behaviour
Experiential knowledge
The student demonstrates:
use of personal experiences visual imagery knowledge motor knowledge knowledge of symbols
Examples of the student's demonstrated reading behaviour
Sensory input to the knowledge base and motor aspects of expressive language
Auditory input
The student has a history of hearing problems
Visual input
The student has a history of vision problems
Motion input
The student has a
history of motor problems
Articulatory processes
The student has a history of speech
problems
