Essay about How Students with Learning Disabilities Gain...

Promoting reading skills to students with LD may appear to be a very difficult task. The varying needs of the students, along with learning conditions in the congested public school could leave behind LD students in the integrated classroom. To address problems, reading interventions should be in place to give students with LD equal opportunities as mandated by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) policy. These interventions should be designed to address two aspects of reading skills: oral decoding and reading comprehension. In Watson, Fore Boon, the authors address early problems of oral decoding for reading fluency. Oral decoding is very important when teaching beginning readers. To address problems of students with reading disabilities,†¦show more content†¦Students were allowed 3 sec. to correct the miscue, but after that, the teacher supplied the word and asked the student to continue reading. With the phonics-based method, the teacher supplied the sound for each miscue and inability to decode. Reinforcement in the form of tokens was given to motivate students to improve. Findings of the study confirm effectiveness of the two methods to promote reading fluency of students with reading disabilities. In the study conducted by Carr, reading comprehension was given focus. The teacher or examiner relied on activation of prior knowledge or schema of the students to increase comprehension. Before the reading activity itself, the examiner inquired about the prior knowledge of the students regarding the topic of the passage. The examiner read five questions, and aided the students in answering them. After reading, five inferential questions were asked and responses were recorded. The results of the study showed positive effect of the approach, emphasizing that students with LD were able to cope with the reading ability of their reading-level counterparts. In addition to activating prior knowledge, Carr also used Echo Reading Approach to address issues of readi ng fluency. Unlike the other study where the authors supplied the words or sounds for every miscue, the examiner read preliminary questions along with the student.
