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 making some sort of accommodation for these students. Instead of reading the question maybe you as the teacher can say the question and they can respond with a written response. Or give them the test in a one-on-one verbal setting - asking the same questions and having the answers recorded. This way they are taking the same test, same questions, but given an alternative way to hear the question and answer. |
