Scaffolding • Telling- Give them the answer…to keep them going. • Demonstrating- Demonstrate an act with the intention of getting the student to employ the same behavior. • Prompting- Focus the student’s attention on meaning, structural, or visual cues… “Look at the first letter of the word.” • Coaching- “You said_____: does that make sense?” • Discussing- Focus attention on the meaning in the story: “ What do you think will happen next?”
