Another Way of Comprehension

Have one page passages with two columns.
The passage is put in several lines not paragraphs.
The first column only has about the most ten sentences.
The questions are put next to the lines from the passage.

Students are asked and they have to find the required information.
Then, interrogate the students as you involved them further into and
outside of the passage.Relate to values or the outcome of the passage.
Or you can conclude and relate the passage to the students interest
and surroundings...

ABC problems

Alphabetical Disorders

Hard to sound the letters of english
Cannot recognise the shapes of letters
Cannot relate sounds to the letters
Cannot make sounds and write the letters correctly
Cannot sense the letters which are told

Overcome them is hard as you have to cater up to over40 students
in a class.
