Read and circle important and unfamiliar words
Write the gist (central/main idea) for the paragraph

15. Specially Designing Instruction
Lyle Activity
Pat-Specially Designed instruction is intentionally and purposefully planning instruction aligned to meet student needs.  In order to effectively do this, teachers must first identify any existing barriers to access, participation and progress in general education.  Once those have been identified, potential solutions including accommodations, modifications, specialized equipment, assistive technology, strategy instruction and/or other supports services, or locations is necessary
‘Think Aloud’ using Lyle the Monkey as an example. Lyle was very easily distracted by environmental factors such as birds, wind and other animals.  Lyle had weak physical stamina and fatigues easily making it difficult for him to complete tasks independently and in a timely manner.  This beginning step in planning specially designed instruction with teachers.  At your table what SDI does Lyle need to be successful? Take a minute chose an animal for your table- what is their barrier to overcome and the possible SDI they may need.

Specially Designed Instruction
Introduction-Objective
Read the objective to students
Students will restate objective
Sheldon – have students read chorally & then have them read independently for reading fluency & comprehension
Mark – put students in pairs to process what we’ll be doing for the day before restating
Guided Practice
Students will turn & talk to partner
Chloe – needs picture cues to assist in conversational skills
Independent Practice
Students will write 3 numbers in expanded, standard & written form
Brayden – graph paper for alignment
Simon – Dragon Speak on iPad for written form
Mary – graphic organizer with prompts for each number representation
