  Case: Assessments
I am a third grade science teacher and many of my students are reading on a kindergarten and first grade reading level. I am noticing that many of those students are failing my assessments. When they are asked questions orally, they are able to answer them correctly. However, when it is given to them on paper they get the answer wrong. What can I do to ensure that my students pass my test?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since students are understanding the questions when given orally, I would give the test orally. Before the assessment I would go over the questions that would be asked during the lesson and explain what each question means.

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes
The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No
The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No
The suggested solution is original No
Comments: I feel this solution would not only be time consuming but possibly not effective at all. The student may be able to go over the questions before the test but still not read them while taking it. Same problem.

Comments: While it may help in the immediate sense, it does not fix the problem that they are not reading on level for the test. The teacher can't read their state exam questions out loud, and this will take longer to do overall.
