Marvin, a sixth-grade student with a specific learning disability (SLD) in reading fluency also receives speech therapy for a slight stutter and is hesitant to read aloud during class. Which of the following strategies would best help Marvin gain confidence for oral reading and allow him to work on his fluency?
A. Allow Marvin to choose a seat near friends in class so that he feels supported and comfortable. b. Excuse Marvin from any whole-group oral reading activities to avoid making him uncomfortable. C. Provide a blank notecard as a placeholder, so Marvin won't get lost during whole-group oral reading.
D. Provide Marvin with a preview of any text to be read aloud in class so he can practice the night before. Then, encourage him to volunteer to read as much or as little of the text as he's comfortable with.
