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!)
I would suggest teaching the students academic vocabulary first. This way they can understand exactly what the question is asking them to do. Then I would teach them strategies for seeing how many things the question is asking them to do. Most questions may have 2-3 parts. Model breaking down the questions and the thinking process. I have my students number the different parts and circle the academic vocabulary, such as analyze or explain. |
