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 think you should continue focusing on lessons that could help them in this area and prepare for the test. When the test is done and graded, you could always go over and review the parts they struggled with and explain what answers were correct and what you were looking for.
