Bulloch, K. (n.d.). How to adapt your teaching strategies to student needs . Reading Rockets,
Retrieved from http://www.readingrockets.org/article/370
In this article Bulloch discussed the importance of modifying lessons to accommodate all learners in your classroom. She explained and gave specific details of the different ways that you could help learners. Several categories that she listed included if students have difficulty learning by listening, difficulty expressing themselves verbally, difficulty reading written material, difficulty writing legibly, difficulty expressing themselves in writing, and difficulty spelling. Under each of these she gave numerous tips and pointers to dealing with these students and the approaches to take.
This information in this article will be extremely helpful to me as I work on my Action Research project. When I teach the C.U.B.S. strategy to my students I can take this information that Bulloch has given and try her tips for dealing with those types of students. I have several students that fit the descriptions that she listed and I am excited to try the tips on them. …show more content…
Heidema (2009) further discusses that students who are able to use reading and writing in mathematics benefit from the extra exposure to reading and writing. These readers are able to locate key information, construct meaning, evaluate new information and organize information in ways to make sense (Heidema, 2009). These characteristics are similar to several of the steps in the C.U.B.S. Strategy that I will implement with my students. This is why I feel strongly about teaching my students a mathematical strategy to help them when they are solving open response questions.
