It is not ok to assume any child is too limited to learn. Those expectations may be different for different children at different points in their development. Time will be a factor, style of learning will be a factor, and output level will be a factor, however, as teachers, we need to give every student including and especially special needs students the respect of high expectations.
Giving choice to students is one way to reach students at their level. I have utilized hyperdocs in order to give students some choice and challenge in the work they are doing. This way students are able to work up toward mastery in a specific area through teacher direction or self-instituted challenge. Choice in reading is one important way in which students can feel successful. If they are able to choose a book that is of interest to them and not dictated by the teacher, even struggling readers will have more investment into what they are reading.
