The individual I worked with is a lower level learner that is on an IEP. The student’s mother was heavy into drugs and alcohol which these circumstances lead this student to live with his sister. The student has problems with reading and writing. The assignment was an end of section review from the teacher. The students had to write about the different railroad strikes. There were five in total but Ms. Billberg told the student he only needed to complete two. We went through the section together and he picked the ones he was most familiar with. There were set questions of what Ms. Billberg wanted like who, what, when, where, and why. The student and I went through the portion of the section that discussed his strike and together we answered the questions. We were only able to complete one of the strikes before class ended but the student was able to finish the assignment outside of class. I was able to help the student with his assignment by helping him find the right answers on his own but just leading him in the right way. It was a comfort for him to have someone help him and let him know that he was doing a good job and that the answers were correct. I did very little in helping him with the factual knowledge but I was able to help him with the confidence of writing down the correct response and that he was interpreting the information correctly.
