Assessment Description

As a teacher, you may be working with students who have characteristics or are in the process of being identified as having exceptionalities that impact their reading abilities. Some exceptionalities include dyslexia, learning disabilities, ADHD, and gifted and talented. It is essential to understand the research on exceptionalities, their impact on students in literacy instruction, research-based intervention strategies, and classroom support for students with exceptional needs.

Choose three reading exceptionalities that teachers in the classroom can encounter, including dyslexia as one of your exceptionalities. Using the textbook, topic Resources, and your research, create a 500-750 word Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet to share with fellow teachers on exceptionalities that affect reading. Include the following information in your FAQ sheet for each exceptionality:   

· Describe the exceptionality, including common characteristics, and explain how the exceptionality affects students during literacy instruction.

· Discuss how students with exceptionalities are identified through an MTSS/RTI process.

· Identify and briefly explain at least one classroom accommodation or modification that can be provided to students with the exceptionality to support Tier 1 literacy instruction.

· Identify and briefly explain at least one research-based intervention or remediation instructional strategy that can support students with exceptionalities in Tier 2 or Tier 3 instruction.

· Identify and briefly explain at least one multisensory instructional technique that can support students with exceptionalities.

· Share one way to provide social-emotional support to students by building on their strengths and promoting motivation and confidence.

· Identify at least one technology tool that can be used in the classroom to support students with exceptionality.

Support your FAQ sheet with 2-3 scholarly resources.
