The ethical perspective of this matter is the standard clearly is that the student can read and comprehend text on a second grade level. With this being said, the assessment should be on a second grade reading level so that students can read it and be successful on the assessment . Then what of the fidelity of the assessment? Should i still continue to read the assessments out loud to the students?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted February 23, 2016 9:58 pm Chelsea Reps: 103 In my internship, my cooperating teacher reads multiple assessments to students that need it. She will read the assessment to any student that asks, if it will help them understand what is being asked of them. I think that you should continue to read the assessments out loud, especially if you were told to do so.

If the student needs it than it is vital to be able to provide this accomadation.

How would you assess a student that is blind? Just because they can't read the test doesn't mean they don't know the information or what it is asking. If you aren't required to read the assessment, then I wouldn't unless a student asks you to. But if you are instructed to do so, then you need to.

If you are only reading the assessment aloud and not giving answers then the fidelity of the assessmet should not be compromised.. I would still read the assessment aloud.
