Asignment 2:
This assignment focuses on a second-grade English learner named Laura. Laura’s first language is Spanish. The assessment data in the exhibits were collected after the first six weeks of the school year. The level of each assessment was selected based on Laura's previous assessment results.
Using your knowledge of reading pedagogy and the developmental progression of foundational reading skills and reading comprehension as described in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR), analyze the information provided and write a response of approximately 400–600 words in which you:

Task 2) Describe one appropriate, effective instructional strategy or activity that would address the student's need you identified related to foundational reading skills and help the student achieve relevant grade-level standards.
Task 3) Identify one significant need that the student demonstrates related to reading comprehension (e.g., vocabulary knowledge; knowledge of sentence and grammatical structures; application of literal, inferential, or evaluative comprehension skills; use of comprehension strategies; application of text analysis
