    Re: What's the easiest way to grade?
    Posted by modify as needed for IEP kids on 8/31/08

    Carrie-since you are setting up your grading system, may I suggest
    that you make AR's either extra credit for kids with IEP's or make
    sure their goal is manageable because they have to put so much
    extra effort into all of their classes just to be able to pass in
    many cases. Also, you do not want to stifle a child's love of
    reading just because they can't read as fast as others and have a
    hard time passing tests due to a disability.

    Please err on the side of caution and make the AR goal very, very
    low for ADHD kids to start with. Give them an incentive to exceed
    the goal. Some of them have a very hard time finding a book at
    their level short enough to read in the time allotted. Junior
    High libraries tend to not have many short chapter books at the
    lower levels or that would interest a learning disabled child.

    Thanks-from the mom a special kid who took two years to get back
    to opening a book on her own because of being forced to do AR's by
    an inflexible LA teacher in grades 7 & 8.
