Incorporating Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to Enhance Learning
Review "Marcus Partial IEP and Lesson" to inform the assignment. Upon reviewing the Present Level of Performance and the second grade literacy-based standards, think about how you can adapt the lesson to meet Marcus’ specific needs and align to his identified academic goals. Revise the “Sample Co-Teaching Lesson Plan (Direct Instruction)” to reflect modifications and accommodations for Marcus. Use bold print or highlighting to indicate changes you have made to the lesson.

I used the short and long /e/ sounds as a target and designed activities to help him identify and decode words with this sound. In addition, I am providing Marcus with additional practice in reading fluency and comprehension while simultaneously targeting phonics skills by employing a mini-book and having him read it aloud (Ceyhan & Yıldız, 2021).
To incorporate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) elements, I provide multiple means of representation by using visual and auditory cues to support Marcus’ learning. For example, I will use images of objects and words with short and long /e/ sounds to help him identify and distinguish them. In addition, I will...
