When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Varied Print and Audio Text accommodation should be removed once an ML demonstrates they have increased vocabulary skills and can process academic reading with more proficiency. Most MLs do not require varied print or audio text beyond the Developing level (3), but some students occasionally require this accommodation through the Expanding level (4). 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.
