Children with Reading Comprehension Problems in Middle & High School - NCLD

This article backs up what I believe to be true about addressing 5-8th graders who are reading below level. These students need a two-prong approach: accommodations for reading grade level content AND directly teaching those lacking on level reading skills. Parents and the student both have to be on board since there will be extra time and effort required to reach learning goals. It takes time (sorry, can't fix it in just one year oftentimes) and commitment to reading practice and the time it takes to complete regular classwork.
