Student A showed some strengths in math, enjoying hands-on activities like measuring with rulers, but struggled with focus during ELA lessons. They had difficulty sounding out words and filling in correct words for sentences. Student B needed constant support in lessons and had trouble with skills like place value and understanding how many ones, tens, or hundreds are in three-digit numbers. They participated when called on but had difficulty independently completing work without reminders. Both students would benefit from additional practice with phonics and decoding skills to improve reading.
