When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Read Aloud to Themselves accommodation may be removed when the student demonstrates increased confidence while reading and adequate comprehension of the material read. Most MLs do not require the Read Aloud to Themselves accommodation beyond the Emerging level (2), but some students occasionally require this accommodation through the Developing level (3). If you have questions, or feel your ML requires a change in their ILAP regarding this accommodation, please reach out to the ESOL teacher in your building to discuss the student's needs.
