and Mann (2009), “children with ASD have been reported to show a disassociation between decoding and comprehension”. Children with ASD usually have a higher leverl of reading compared to their reading comprehension. Overall, the evidence suggests that children with ASD have low levels of reading accuracy, which implicates weak decoding skills as being one of the factors in reading comprehension deficits in ASD (Huemer and Mann). National Reading Panel define fluency as "reading text with speed
Reading comprehension is an essential skill for reasoning and for functioning well in everyday life. The SAT is a test that measures these skills and it is a crucial part of high school students to be admitted into post-secondary schools. A test of this magnitude combined with the increasing competition in college admissions should have test scores increasing as each year passes, but instead, a reverse trend is occurring. The average reading scores have decreased in the last four decades, having

score of the respondents do not show satisfactory result through the use of high technology Table 2 shows the interpretations of the scores of the students by test depending on the level of comprehension. This was used to determine the results of which technology must be used in enhancing reading comprehension. CHAPTER 5 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENTATIONS This chapter presents the summary, findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study. Summary The principal purpose of this study
DIBELS Daze and the Progress Monitoring checks of comprehension over six weeks provided significant information on the comprehension achievement in three students. The summary above demonstrates the changes in the selected students from my classroom. As you can see, Student 1 increased their score four out of the six times on their weekly comprehension skills check from their basal reading series. However, that student did not reach proficiency during the 6-week intervention period. This student
children have difficulty in reading comprehension. Reading comprehension involves reading, decoding, making connections to prior knowledge and thinking deeply about the text (Reading Rockets, 2015). Reading comprehension is a skill that is used inside and outside of the classroom, which means it should be effectively taught. Since this is an important skill that many children struggle with, I would like to focus on assisting children with enhancing their reading comprehension skills. I would like to create
expectations in the classroom and have not explained the importance or why it is being done. Teachers should have purpose to ensure every child’s success. We will closely look at two teachers who have implemented graphic organizers and student reading comprehension growth. In addition, we will look at a classroom teacher who has not implemented graphic organizers and student outcome. Questions: 1. How is graphic organizers implemented in the lesson for ELLs? 2. What strategies are used to introduce graphic
to read the passage fast and comprehend faster than the readers who are not using chunking while reading passage. Generally, this study provides little evidence that pre-organizing reading material into meaningful chunks improves the reading comprehension of readers. 5.2. Analysis of FGD The study and findings from the result is quite contradictory to the result of Steven (1983), who found chunked reading materials helpful for high school readers. The reason behind this was the students were explained
The 2011 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) reading comprehension test results, revealed that in addition to being considerably outperformed by twenty-one countries, twenty-five per cent of Australian Year 4 students had substantial literacy problems and did not meet the minimum, (intermediate) benchmark for international achievement standards (Australian Council for Educational Research, [ACER] 2012). Overall student performance is spread across the range of international benchmarks
Comp. of Fictional Text Story Map A comprehension strategy that helps students organize their thoughts while reading. There are several formats for this graphic organizer, depending on which aspects of fictional texts are being discussed or taught. A teacher may decide to focus on beginning, middle, or end; or in a more advanced format, focus on the characters, plot, setting, problem, and solution of a story. This strategy is beneficial during and after reading. Students may encounter this strategy
