VI. ACCOMMODATIONS and/or MODIFICATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS
To accommodate individual learners I will hang posters with large print letters to help students with vision
disabilities identify the letters. Then I will create felt textured letters for students who may not be able to
identify the letter that goes with the sound as reinforcement. Most importantly, I will allow additional time
or instructions for activities. In addition, secure additional alphabet strips to the desks with uppercase and
lowercase sight words to help with identification. Perhapsworkwithlettersofpriorknowledgeforthese
