Would it be okay to read aloud passages and/or questions to help students comprehend better?
No, neither the passages nor the comprehension questions can be read aloud. This is a reading comprehension test. Reading passages and/or comprehension questions aloud would change the test into a listening test. This is not acceptable. The only questions that can be read aloud are those printed in the Test Administration Guide: prior knowledge and strategy questions. The answers to these questions are not part of the student’s comprehension score, but are included to help teachers better understand and interpret reading comprehension scores. For example, if a student has a low score on the reading comprehension and a low score on reading strategies, this may indicate that the student needs help on developing reading strategies that could help the student comprehend better. Would it be okay to allow a student to read the passage and items aloud? Yes, if the student normally reads this way. However, to avoid disturbing other students, it would be best to test this student in another roo
