out what level reading he is at in order to
get him to grade level.
 They use ZPD to figure out his level of
reading successfully without help.
 They will also measure his ability to read
with some guidance.

Jack can not read even with help.
 Once they figure out this information they
will then create reading tasks that he can do
within his ZPD that he can complete without
help.
 Than they will move to find tasks that will
help him create a new ZPD that he might
need help in.
