Question

If a student's general performance is not at level, but the ORF measures show accuracy, then what are appropriate next steps? Select all that apply:

A. Focus on improving overall reading comprehension skills.
B. Provide additional support for specific areas of weakness.
C. Conduct further assessments to identify specific reading difficulties.
D. Celebrate and reinforce the student's accuracy in oral reading fluency.

Answer 1

The appropriate next steps would be to focus on improving overall reading comprehension skills, provide additional support for specific areas of weakness, and conduct further assessments to identify specific reading difficulties.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate next steps if a student's general performance is not at level, but the ORF measures show accuracy, would be to:

1. Focus on improving overall reading comprehension skills. This will help the student understand and analyze texts better, improving their overall performance.
2. Provide additional support for specific areas of weakness. By identifying the specific areas where the student is struggling, targeted support can be provided to address those weaknesses.
3. Conduct further assessments to identify specific reading difficulties. It may be necessary to assess the student's reading abilities more extensively to uncover any underlying difficulties that may be affecting their performance.

Celebrating and reinforcing the student's accuracy in oral reading fluency is not one of the appropriate next steps, as it does not address the overall performance or specific areas of weakness.
