Giving her more positive attention, I believe will be helpful. When she is nice or does a good behavior, praise her for it. Try to make her reading experience as positive and helpful as possible. Have a conversation with her allowing her to be okay with her reading level and come up with goals and steps on how to higher it together.

I would definitely set the expectations for learning and for interacting with each other to help create a safe learning environment for all my students. I would track her outburst and see if there is a specific pattern. Also working with this student in small group would help them guide them so they don’t feel like they have no support in the area that they struggle in might help.

I would do my best to correct the behavior. I would also try and have more one on ones with her.

For this situation, I would speak with the student about her behavior but also make it a point to encourage her and her ability to do what she needs to do. I think a lot of the time, students do not believe in themselves and encouragement and support from their teacher can go a very long way.

What you can try first is to correct the behavior and use the five to one ratio. This is for every one correction or negative interaction you have with them, you give the student five positives. Now this can sometimes be challenging, but the student is acting out it sounds like because they are struggling and they want to put that on you and other students. Working with the student one on one while they are reading may help them while you try to collect data and get them services. The most important thing in this situation is to remain patient and keep working with the student, don't shut them out. I think they may not have support at home that they need, so you could try giving them resources to help them work on their reading at home which can be in the form of picture books at a lower level while they progress or could be audio books to read along with them.

More one-on-one or small group. Try to incorporate reading activities that can allow her to receive peer assistance and encourage her to enjoy the reading experience into lessons.

I would suggest putting this student into their own group selection. Like, create a separate group to work with her one on one with her reading and her reading skills. If this student is early on get magnetic letters and a board to work building the words she does not know in real-time. Also, you could do a lot of sensory activities to help increase her reading score and level and ability.

I think being a low reader has something to do with the aggression, but it sounds like the student has an undiagnosed LD and would highly recommend testing. Students often act out when they feel they can't control what is going on.

Talk to the student before class. Usually communicating with them will calm the situation. Also, try redirecting whenever possible when she starts to be disruptive.

The student is probably acting out because she is insecure about her reading level. She is not as great as a reader as the rest of the class which makes her act out to draw the attention away from it. She may need to be put into a remedial reading class or setting where she gets one on one help to better her reading level. In the meantime, you could have the student sit closer to your desk to see if she refrains from acting out as much. Also, give her incentives when she does well.

A suggestion for working with this student might be to have a talk with her alone, and outside of class time. Let her know how her behavior is disrupting other students, and that this is not ok. Also acknowledge to her the fact that you notice she has the potential to be doing better in the class than she is, and you want to help her. You can set aside one on one time after school or get her connected with a tutor. If the problem continues, I would get the parents involved as well.

Show her some positive words of encouragement so that she can try to practice on her own. Reinforce that good readers don't happen overnight.

Definitely keep getting that data to receive services. Also, I think it is important to set expectations in the classroom and reinforce a positive learning environment and being respectful in the classroom.

I would start by having a conversation with the student. Offer one-on-one time or additional support for the student during reading and reading assignments. Also let the student know the consequences of being verbally and physically harmful to other students. I would also suggest having a meeting with the student and the parents to talk about her behavior. Talk with administrators and see if there is a way to speed up the process so the student can begin receiving services as soon as possible.

Instant gratification. Make a reward chart that can be checked after a certain period of time. It could be after each lesson, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, or whatever she needs. At the end of the day she may choose a reward for good behavior.

positive reinforcement and encouragement would be helpful to her. Make sure to praise her when she does well so that the shes not only receiving negative feedback. Give her a responsibility in the class so she can feel helpful. A meeting with the parents and additional resources are for sure needed though.

Try and relate more to this student -- ask her about whats going on, and allow her to self correct behaviors using expectations. As for her reading, monitor and test her and take it from there

I would first try and talk with the student and discuss their reason behavior and why they feel the need to do so. Next talk with your schools counselor and principle about what resources are available to you and the student to aid here. Try and give them work with simpler words and less sentences at first and gradually give them more complex work to do in and out of class, for this I would also try and contacting and discussing the problem and student progress with them.

If I was the teacher, I would provide the student with more attention. I would also have one on one time with the student and conference with her.

Talking to the student about respect
