  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!)
If the students do well with conversations, could you read the test aloud for the students. IF not, depending on the amount of students maybe have the test be a verbal conversation with them independently to assess them.
