  Case: Reading Comprehension
I teach world history in the resource setting and I have noticed that my students really struggle on end of unit assessments. We utilize common assessments as a department, so my students take the same tests and answer the same questions as general ed students and honors students. Most questions on the tests are all Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels 2, 3 and even 4. While my students seem to understand the content through discussions and activities, they do not perform well on the tests because of their struggles with reading comprehension. If they cannot comprehend the question how are they supposed to demonstrate their knowledge of the content? What are some strategies I can utilize to help my students raise their test scores?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You have said that many of the studnet are struggling becuase of reading comprehension so that answer would be to start there. I would put forth that tests be put on orally or to have the studnets to testing online with programs that can read it to them. THis way the they can understand the questions and get past thier reading problems. This can even help with reading problems becuase once they hear the word it can help them learn it.
