Option A For Layah: Case Study

I have chosen Option A for Layah. Layah is a very quiet and shy student. She initially did not like to raise her hand to answer questions, but is slowly becoming more confident in her ability to answer questions correctly. I selected her because she is on a scholastic academy contract and was not in a gifted setting in pre-K. She will need to take the gifted exam at the end of first grade which includes and reading and writing portion. Layah’s parents state that she did not write much in pre-k, but she did draw pictures. Furthermore, her writing skills were very low at the beginning of her kindergarten year. She did not utilize spacing, capital letters, punctuation, and her handwriting was not very legible. She also had trouble spelling words
