Lesson plan for students with disabilities

A lesson plan preparation bases on the learners ability. There are special lesson plans for learners with disabilities such as, mental retartedness, speech –impaired, visually disabled among others. Comprehension as a study skill under language is among the teaching areas that should consider proper instructions for the learners with disability to gain knowledge. Teaching students with disabilities on comprehension involves reading, listening to it, responding to questions and enhancement of vocabulary skills. In most cases, the lesson plan will accommodate practical students involving activities and plenty of teaching aids for learning to occur. As such, this essay will establish a lesson plan for the learnedness with mental retardedness for grade 1students in which the listening, reading, understanding and critical skills are acquired through student’s involvement.

Divide students into groups and direct them to go through the comprehension steadily.

· Teacher should encourage every student to read. Each group can take a paragraph and read for the class (Denton 2007).

· If there are learners who can read better than others the teacher should use them to read and then tell the rest do the same.

· The teacher should engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with the students (corestandards.org)

· The teacher should engage in audio recording stories that demonstrate fluid reading at an understandable pace. Addition of visual displays is appropriate to emphasize certain facts or details (corestandards.org).

Action words can guide in what the learner should do.

10 minutes

assessment

Asking questions

Close test

· Teacher should ask each group of learners to write the vocabularies they have learnt or liked within the lesson.

· Ask them to draw actions or objects that they know and are related to those actions/ objects after you keep away the cards.

The teacher should carry out an assessment of reading comprehension where students read a passage with words systematically deleted. Students must supply the missing word

(Denton 2007).

In conclusion learners with a disability require a student- based lesson plan. From the above analysis, the comprehension lesson for the mentally retarded is loaded with a lot of activities that bear repetitive activities and numerous teaching aids. Student involvement is mandatory here as students may find difficulties in settling and concentrating. Moreover, the teacher may find himself/ herself enticing the students with gifts so as to encourage positive classroom behavior. Therefore, the learners with disability lesson if distinct and full of learner- orientations.
