Also, the student might be slower at reading because of what reading level the student is on. One way to fix this, I believe is having the student set certain goals to help with his/her reading.

If the student understands the work but needs help with understanding what one or two words mean; then, I can help the student with that or those words. It all really depends on the situation and the student whether or not the student needs an assistive
