Mrs. Lowe, I would not worry about where your son is supposed to be but work with him on whatever level he is and try to take him to the next level.

I would start by making sure he understands simple things that are going on in a story but generally speaking, students with trouble comprehending need help with inferencing, that is making connections to understand what is implied but not explicitly stated in text.

A great way to do this is by using graphic organizers to map out what you are reading with your child. The Concept/Question Board, while maybe not entirely suited to home use, is a sort of life-sized graphic organizer.

I have a child , my own, who is in 6th grade and decoding on grade level but comprehending on a lower level- 3/4th grade because of his language display. How does one work around this difference, especially if he is suppose to read at the grade level? He has an IEP.

Another way to keep using the CQ boards is: at the beginning of Independent Work Time, I randomly grab about 5 questions off the Question side, and read each one. Then I ask if anyone would like to write an answer for it. I give that person the question; they write their answer, and then post both question & answer on the concepts side.

It has improved the quality of the questions written (because students know it’s going to be read aloud with their name attached).

Great suggestions on the use of the Concept Question Board. How do you refer to the board during your daily lessons?

Thank you! This is a great example of how to meaningfully use the Concept/Question board. It gave me many ideas for my next unit! Something else to do to keep using the C/Q board is once a week, have students do an oral homework by asking their parents or relatives a question relating to the unit and then sharing it the next day, in writing and orally.
