Anthony is a grade four student in a bilingual school setting. Anthony has had difficulties
with language since the very beginning of his elementary school years, especially with writing.
He has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and slight dyslexia which is
likely the cause of his dysgraphia.
The student is capable of managing his ADHD without disrupting the other students. He
does this by standing at his place when team or independent work is assigned. He sometimes
differs his attention from the task at hand and has to be motivated in ELA to complete his work.
Anthony is a very well-mannered student that wants to succeed but lacks self-confidents. When
faced with a writing task, Anthony is often under the impression that he has no ideas and often
answered guiding questions with I dont know. Anthony benefits from having someone help
with brainstorm his ideas. Once his ideas are on a scrap piece of paper, he is able to produce
some writing.
Anthonys writing is not very legible and he shows no sign of sentence structure in his
writing pieces. The student struggles with spelling, line and margin use as well as space issues.
He is constantly erasing his work which ties in with the lack of confidence. Antony does well on
his weekly spelling tests but struggles with it during writing tasks. When it comes to
mathematics, Anthony demonstrate excellent mathematical skills but sometimes has trouble
reading and understanding the instructions. Once he understands what the task is asking, he is
able to complete his work independently.
Anthony plays and interacts with the other students in the schoolyard and in physical
education but is often left without a partner when students are assigned academic partner work.
This does not seem to bother him as he prefers doing academic work on his own.
Planning
Focus Academic: The main focus of this intervention is from an academic standpoint.
Subjects: Main: ELA - Secondary: Mathematics (end of cycle exams)
Barriers/Objective
Writing Tasks
-
Anthonys main concern is producing legible written work that properly capture his ideas and
thoughts.
Anthony must have a brainstorming session before producing a writing product. This will help
him gather his thoughts orally and then write them on a scrap piece of paper. The brainstorm
sheet should be categorized. Example: physical traits of the character and personality traits of
the character. Having his ideas down to refer to will help Anthony form his sentences.
Anthony would benefit from having access to a laptop to produce his written work such as
reading responses, journals and other writing tasks. Spell check would be disabled to avoid
having him being distracted by the underlined spelling and grammar mistakes. Spell check
may be enabled at the end of the writing task depending on evaluation criterias.
Reading Tasks
Anthony could use an electronic dictionary when he has a reading task. This will help him
with reading comprehension. The electronic dictionary should only be given when needed to
If Anthony stands while working independently, let him unless he is being disruptive to the
other students.
Give Anthony the opportunity to move around: Pass out or collect books and materials,
messenger, emptying out the recycling bin or going down to get the milk.
