  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!)
It depends on the student and what their needs are. How would you assess a student that is blind? Just because they can't read the test doesn't mean they don't know the information or what it is asking. If you aren't required to read the assessment, then I wouldn't unless a student asks you to. But if you are instructed to do so, then you need to.

Comments: This is a good solution. It is important to realize if you are being told to read it aloud, there must be a reason. Therefore you should read it aloud.
