Plan your lessons to include smaller chunks of material. If a student is having difficulty comprehending current lessons, assigning them large amounts of reading or homework will lessen their chances of success. Split chapters into sections of reading, covering some in class as a group and assigning some at home to read.
Incorporate comprehension activities into reading. These activities include reading journals or worksheets that ask important questions about the reading. These activities will give the students an opportunity to reflect on what they have read or learned.
Evaluate student comprehension regularly. You need to assess your students' progress and how much material they have retained at regular intervals. This will allow you to evaluate your lesson plans and change them accordingly. It also enables you to help students who are struggling before they get too far behind. You can choose to give your students formal evaluations such as paper-and-pencil tests, or evaluate their progress informally by reading their journals on a weekly basis. You should conduct your assessments in a timely fashion.
