Lilah Cesario Case Study

Lilah Cesario is a first grader at Southampton Elementary School. She is currently five years old and eleven months old. She is a new student at Southampton Elementary School and has been tested before for ADHD. On October 30, 2017, I got to do running records with Lilah in her home.

I would use characters that are from her independent reading books, and use charts to analyze the characters in
