  Case: Reading Assessments Aloud
As a new teacher in second grade, I was taken back when I was told to read the Reading and ELA assessments out loud to the students. The ethical perspective of this matter is the standard clearly is that the student can read and comprehend text on a second grade level. With this being said, the assessment should be on a second grade reading level so that students can read it and be successful on the assessment . Then what of the fidelity of the assessment? Should i still continue to read the assessments out loud to the students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As an intern and a student i have seen and heard many teachers read the assessments outloud to students. If you are only reading the assessment aloud and not giving answers then the fidelity of the assessmet should not be compromised.. I would still read the assessment aloud.
