Results*Student /teacher rating – behavior escalated student didn’t like being singled out. *Small group reading instruction worked when student would attend, but didn’t like being the only one going*Class reward system worked for whole class- to improve overall behavior, but all students would get point for going to small group and for attempting to work independently*Also teacher started working with him on reading before reading time so student would know about reading story before rest of class and was building confidence*Intervention works when teacher does class reward system and front load lessons consistently
