Q:
Challenging 6th Grade Academic Performance
I teach 6th grade and am having a problem reaching one of my students. This student is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD. She is the oldest child in her family and the first in middle school. My problem is this student's reading comprehension is low. I am able to differentiate my reading groups, so she is reading text that is appropriate for her level. I've met with her mother on several occasions and shared what can be done at home to support what we are doing in school (reread, paraphrase text, review comprehension questions, etc.), but there has been no change. This student has the option of taking the test in a smaller setting, which she does, but she's not asking any clarification questions during the testing. What advice do you have for me?
