Problem: Reading Comprehension Most of the deaf/hard of hearing students that I have taught have difficulty with comprehending what they read. They might be able to read the words, but cannot answer comprehension questions about the text unless the answer is directly in the passage, word for word. Solution: I incorporate classic stories as a supplement to my reading curriculum, along with a computer software program called Quiz Works. These classic stories are high interest, low readability, so it doesn’t look babyish. The series comes in different reading levels. We read a chapter of the story as a class. A chapter is consolidated into one page. The book includes comprehension questions at the end of each chapter. Specific questions from the story are not just basic comprehension questions. Some are inferencing, finding the main idea, asking what another name for the story is, etc. The worksheets also include new vocabulary, which are used in "fill in the blanks". It usually takes about two weeks, reading a little bit every day, with my asking the students questions about the story as we read. Before I give them the comprehension papers to do, I take the same questions and type them into the Quiz Works software program. Quiz Works helps students review or be tested on the content they are currently learning in class. The program can be customized to whatever I need. It is a fun way for students to work in teams and get the reinforcement of the material at the same time. It is a multiple choice game that has a time limit per question. Teams get points for correct answers to questions. I connect the computer with my classroom TV and my students sit in their teams around it. Different captains are chosen every time we play, so that the same people are not on the same team every time. After the game is over, my students do their comprehension worksheets independently with no problem. Impact: My students get really excited when they see we are going to read a classic story being accompanied by Quiz Works. I believe that Quiz Works has given them the confidence they need to answer the comprehension questions at the end of the stories. They work cooperatively in groups; they focus more on what the question is asking and try harder to answer the questions correctly. In conclusion, they are building their comprehension skills while having fun. Contact Information: Christine Monroe monroec@osceola.k12.fl.us
