Introduction:
It will be significant to establish how well Marie is with basic reading skills that will be commonly applied in her class. The lesson will begin with an interactive approach in order to accommodate Marie’s inequalities. For this lesson plan, it would be essential to discuss the possible introduction to reading concepts necessary for her present condition.
Pre- assessment of knowledge /skills/interest
Assessment of the student will be developed to progress and retain the new concepts learned by the student. Assessment will be done to determine if the student needs some prior knowledge on certain areas of reading. Several reading texts and story books will be given to the student to determine the student’s interest and reading skill sets.
Specific learning activities: 1.What will be done on each lesson.2. How will the student be engaged in participating to classwork? 3 What will be done to teach each reading lesson in a unique way? 4. What are the some of the common reading skills that can be used to improve her reading abilities?

The students will be expected to apply what they have read in class through simple activities related to the readings. All students are expected to discover new ideas from the reading.

Teacher roles and responsibilities
General education and special education teachers: All Marie’s teachers will corporate with their counterpart special needs teachers who are involved in her daily learning activities. For this to be achieved, a plan should be developed to ensure that all modification is accommodated in the curriculum and the classroom setting.
Paraprofessional: For Marie to develop her reading skills a paraprofessional will be required to pre-teach Marie on the reading materials for every learning activity in any environment that will need no distractions.
How differentiation will be done
For effective classroom learning from Marie and other students, it would be necessary if the student were grouped based on their levels of mastery. Marie should be paired with high achieving students so that she could be given a much needed assistance in reading. Marie should be given reading tasks that are easy to handle according to her levels of expertise.
Classroom context and description
During classroom learning activities, all reading activities will be achieved through group and personal reading. A story to be read will be projected on the board with some graphic explanation of how to read and pronounce certain vocabularies. Every student in the class will be asked to read a paragraph on the story. Marie will be placed on the front row, and he will be assigned a fellow student to read and take notes on reading items in the lesson. In order to limit distractions from the background, Marie will be given earplugs. All instructions in the reading lesson will be presented in a repetitive manner to allow Marie comprehend all the instructions. All the reading instruction in this lesson will be given in short segments to avoid Marie being bored. All the lecture notes together with the reading tasks will be supplemented with multi-media presentations. The lesson duration for this reading assignment will be 45 minutes each.

Direct Teaching
1. The lesson will begin with a short review of the previous reading activities. New information about reading and vocabularies will be presented .every student is required to practice every idea individually. Questions will be asked to check student responses on each student. Student will be guided on every reading activity. Their understanding will be checked as they continue reading every paragraph. Every student will be monitored independently on their ability to read and understand every concept.
Guided practice
All the reading activity will utilize systematic and explicit instructions. Student will be assigned groups of 2- 3 students. Students will be encouraged to think aloud. There will be structured peer-assisted learning activities.
In individual practice, student will be provided with scaffolds for any difficult task that is presented to them. The students will be asked for any feedback regarding the reading activity.
Evaluation and assessment will be done basing on their level of assessment of the reading assignment. The daily reading will be assessed based on the capacity of the student to retain what they have read within a particular moment. Student will also be provided with individual reading tasks which they will be evaluated on a weekly basis. The student warm reading assignment will be assessed by fellow students during class activities.

Reflections on this project
There are various reasons why I chose this lesson plan. One of the major reasons is how it accommodates every student in the class. Since one of the students has an auditory disorder there is a need to have a lesson plan that is accommodative for each student needs. The lesson plan is structured to give every student chance to participate in the learning activities, in the classroom. This is achieved through support in giving reading instructions and giving a chance for every student to read some part of the reading activity. Therefore, it would be easy for the teacher to note the weakness areas of special needs students like Marie and others who are yet to be discovered. The lesson has also features that will help Marie to get engaged in every activity, in the classroom and prevent boredom. This lesson plan is also easy to follow and gives ample time for each activity. This lesson plan is also flexible. It gives a chance for any teacher to use and teach students at any time. Teachers can also modify the lesson plan to accommodate other activities once they have realized the weakness in the student’s ability to read. By following this lesson plan, it would be easy for the teachers to manage time and activities in the class. Since much attention is needed for Marie, the lesson plan gives the teacher an easier way to teach and monitor classroom development of the student.
The instructional strategies developed in this lesson are meant for all students in the class. They are meant to enhance the reading strategies of the students and develop the reading capabilities of the special needs student (Marie). The instructional strategies chosen here are meant to ensure that normal learning continues in the class despite the needs to accommodate Marie in the learning activity. In many situations, teachers find it difficult to accommodate special needs student in the class. The teachers tend to concentrate on the needs of these students and leave behind others. This often drags the speeds at which learning occurs in the classrooms. Sometimes other students get bored. In other cases teachers tend to concentrate on teaching other well developed student...
