Look into the Irlen Institute colored acetate overlays.

I have a student that reads well silently, her comprehension is fabulous,
higher order thinker. However, when she reads orally, it is very choppy. I
happen to be friends with her mother and she is frustrated because she has
addressed this issue for the last couple of years and basically the school
isn't doing anything anymore. The child is currently in fourth grade,
received small group instruction is 2nd and 3rd grades and her mother also
paid for her to have vision therapy. Nothing seems to help improve her
fluency since it is not impacting her comprehension. Can anyone give me some
suggestions on how I may help this child.

Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am currently a student at Wayne State
University.
I recently read an article that I found to be true in the class that I did
my
pre-student teaching. A lot of students would read with fairly good
fluency,
but when confronted with comprehension and critical thinking questions they
were
unable to participate. Is this a problem in other classes and are there
strategies/activities to try to overcome this? I would like to have strong
readers as well as strong comprehenders in my classroom.
Thanks!
Jennifer Hartkopf
