Struggling Student

This student is an English Language Learner, who is from Germany. She has a teacher who helps her with reading, but she is otherwise in the classroom for regular instruction. The teacher said that she has made great improvements throughout the school year. I had an opportunity to help her with her reading test last week and was very impressed with how well she was reading. If she came to a word that she didn't know, she first sounded it out to herself and then said it out loud. I only had to help with a few words because she was so good at sounding them out herself. In the classroom, the students are all very supportive of her. If they are working on an overhead language problem and she gets it correct, everyone claps and congratulates her. They were working on the parts of speech and the teacher was showing them how much they had learned throughout the year by having them say each what part of speech each word was in the sentence. This student answered it perfectly. I am very impressed by her progress!
