Project Based Learning: Carry out classroom projects where the learners work with their hands and use their creative minds to build something.
Orals Presentations: When given a task, Samantha must present her work verbally in front of the class.

Assistive Technology: Have Siri or a tool that is a software to help Samantha hear what is being said instead of reading it.
Audio Resources: Record the entire lesson and give the recording to Samantha to listen to it every day.
Boards: When introducing a new topic, have a board and pictures on it with the words in different colours, to place an image in Samantha's mind
Adapting Assessment Techniques :tada:..................
- Scaffolding
- Practicing
- Oral Presentations
- Goal Setting
- Positive Reinforcement
Oral Presentations: Samantha must present her work everyday verbally and speak how she understands the work.
Goal Setting: Start by setting small goals for Samantha and as she achieves them, make them more harder as she goes.
Practicing: Involve the learners in every day work, even the ones that do not understand the work, repeat the work every single day until they fully grasp the context.
Positive Reinforcement: Always recognize her hard work and celebrate her, even her small wins.
Scaffolding: Organize the class into smaller groups that are manageable and mix the learners who have different strengths
