58. You are the special education resource room teacher at your local elementary school. A general education teacher asks you for help with several students who have memory problems, particularly remembering what they read. The teacher says he heard about strategies. Describe the information you would share with him: - Explain the concept of strategies. - Why strategies help students with memory problems. - An example of a strategy he could teach these students.
What will be an ideal response?

• Strategies help learners store and retrieve information; students with disabilities may not develop and learn strategies as a typical learner does.
