- In my role as a reading support teacher, I address a wide range of learning needs using a diagnostic and prescriptive approach to create lessons to meet each student’s individual needs. I design instruction based on ongoing assessment data from both the classroom teacher and my own assessments. as provided by Orton-Gillingham. This allows me to adjust pacing, level of support, and instructional strategies as needed. Using a structured literacy approach, I incorporate multi-sensory, explicit, sequential, and cumulative instruction to support students with varying reading strengths and skill levels. By monitoring a student's progress in accuracy and automaticity, I continuously adjust and adapt instruction to provide appropriate scaffolding, review, and opportunities for mastery.I
