Students with high incidence disabilities (i.e., specific learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, etc.) exhibit impairments in the areas of attention, memory, perception, processing linguistic information, and reasoning that affects their ability to learn. Hence, the ability to design and deliver explicit, enhanced instruction is fundamental for facilitating the acquisition of academic skills with this population. Within the direct instruction model, explicit enhancements occur during the "new material presentation" by the teachers. In this article, eight tools/strategies that teachers can use to explicitly enhance the content to facilitate the learning of all students are briefly provided along with specific guidelines to implement two of the strategies: graphic organizers and guided notes. Teachers can use these tools/strategies independently or multiple tools/strategies can be integrated to facilitate students' acquisition of new content. Some of the enhancement tools/strategies can also be used during student directed activities; however, they are more effective when teachers explicitly model the strategy before students use them independently.
