Difference Between Lolita And Ines

Lolita and Ines were paired together because they each have skills that can mutually benefit the other. By pairing one higher and one lower functioning student together as partners they can work as a team to learn concepts, build oral language skills, and for reading support. Since Ines is above grade average in her oral language skills, she can help clarify vocabulary words or the meaning of written text to Lolita who is below average in her oral language abilities. Ines can also provide feedback to Lolita as they practice oral language skills by retelling stories using visual story maps and story ladders.
Another benefit for pairing Lolita and Ines together is that Lolita is at grade level in reading while Ines is below grade level in reading.
