Example of DI reading program

This company has many DI programs that are great for different ages and concepts so it really depends on needs. I find the repetition in instruction, workbooks, layout are good and the great thing is most of the programs follow a similar teaching pattern. This helps because if he’s done say reading mastery and later incorporated a spelling mastery program he would be familiar with the cues, layout, what’s being asked- allowing more energy to be focused just on concepts. The concepts and student expectations build in a systematic way as well.

You might try TV Teacher for handwriting. The way it’s presented helps memory of letters, but it might also just be difficulty attending to longer passages or difficulty with fine motor skills. Have you had an OT eval for writing to eliminate fine motor (vs motivation) difficulty?

I would be weary of writing goals in a way that make him more dependent on teachers at this age. Rather than having a scribe I’d focus on skill development. While you might still need help it’s better to focus on the independence with help available as needed. You don’t want him learning that teachers just do things for him. Obviously if he has slow processing speed or fine motor deficits that prevent the independence then scribes are a good idea. At this age though imo pushing for more skill development with fading accommodations to maintain independence will serve him better in the long run. Things like copying passages from a written example, writing grips, raised line paper, different writing programs with more interesting content, possibly OT if necessary, etc.

If motivation is the biggest issue he might need a token economy type reinforcement system or other environmental accommodations. Ask the BCBA to complete an FBA/BIP to determine if there are specific behaviors interfering with learning and how to best address them in the classroom. Getting structured systems in place at this age can be really useful long term.

You might request SLP group instruction to focus on pragmatics and social skills. [/quote]
