What grade are you teaching? If after a few weeks she is still
not able to remember the words and pass the test orally, I would
look at one of two things. 1) if you think she is capable of
doing this vocabulary and simply isn't making any effort, you
should enlist the assistance of the parents to help her study or
set up a study time (if possible) at school when someone can
quiz her orally. 2) If she is not capable of remembering the
vocab words, maybe you need to modify the assignment by having
her learn fewer words. it all depends on the disability in
question, student effort, evidence of learning and the grade
level.Originally Posted by debb Does this student have an aid or
have classes in the resource room? They may be able to work with
her on the vocabulary. As long as the vocabulary is reasonable
for her cognitive abilities, she should be held accountable for
learning it. ... but there is little value in learning to repeat
the definition of words if the child is not capable of
understanding the meaning.
