We encourage students to attempt the assessment independently first.
If a student struggles, you can read all or part of the passage aloud as a follow-up. Comparing the student's performance before and after a read-aloud gives critical diagnostic data on whether the bottleneck is decoding/fluency versus core comprehension and language development.
Beyond that, you have the professional flexibility to adapt assessments to meet student needs. This includes honoring any IEP/504 accommodations, following district guidelines, and using your professional judgment alongside day-to-day instructional evidence (like IDR conferences, exit tickets, and classroom observations).
