Thanks for the suggestions! I do not think she has been tested in Spanish...that tends to happen after we have referred students for RTI which may be the next step. There just seems to be such a huge disconnect between her ability to decode and her understanding. I use the strategies from Strategies that Work and Seven Keys in my classroom, introducing one at a time and using them throughout the year in their response journals and reading groups. When it comes to her using them as she reads though, it just doesn't happen! I've talked some with our literacy coach, as well, but it has been so frustrating for me (and for the student too, I am sure!)
I will hunt down those books, and I really like the idea about spending some time with her up front setting the stage for the books. Obviously we're down to the last days, but I'm sure I'll encounter this again.
