  Case: Student can read but not comprehend
The teacher has a student who can read every word in the book. He also can comprehends some of the story but doesn't understand the deeper meaning behind the story. The teacher has tried to go page by page with the student but sometimes he still doesn't understand. The teacher believes the student may not understand some of the story because of experience and lack of vocabulary. Where should she start to problem solve to help the student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher may want to start by giving the student informational text such as articles, and teach them how to apply close reading strategies. She can also use guided reading to help the student focus on identifying and recalling specific information within the text that the teacher has targeted. These two strategies will address vocabulary and help the student to get a deeper understanding of the text.

Comments: I believe that this solution can be very effective. However I feel that their may to be a larger push on vocabulary than the one proposed in the solution if the child's lack of understanding does truly come from a lack of understanding vocabulary like the teacher believes.
