Which scenario BEST illustrates the principle of least restrictive environment (LRE) for a student with a reading IEP?
Answer: The student participates in general education ELA with targeted pull-out support
LRE requires students with disabilities to be educated alongside peers to the maximum appropriate extent, with supports provided.
