How to motivate those students that (for whatever reasons) do not appear to want to be involved in furthering their reading or writing skills? I am currently working with a student who is 10 years of age with a reading and writing age of 7. I GET the ideology of student led, and setting a student up for success but what to do when the student is stuck in the role (and this is not a judgement but an observation) of victim. I recognise that students like these are a 'gift' in terms of forcing me to 'think outside of the box' and the larger part of me embraces that. But how do I actively engage this student in the process of figuring out how she will interact with the world aroudn her? Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
