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.

Phew!!!

3rd July.06
It has been too long.I'm here today.The Year Six is struggling for good results.
I'm trying all I can but the pupils haven't changed that much.
There are more Tests to come.
The next month is more....there are 4 tests.Despite all,I think they should provide confidence and motivation.
We cannot expect so much out of the school children if they are not up to par.
They are at their own level,so I think it is notr fair to test them at a certain level.
Most of the tests are not suitable or too difficult.
If you look at the second paper (UPSR) most school and especially mine,can't cope with the demands and requirements.And why shoulkd testthem on what they are not knowing to do?
I have tried to help but just can't.
I provide them some models to follow or even just copy tghem down but they couldn't or just don't want to bother about it.
