Reading achievement is positively related to the amount of time students spend reading. Students develop vocabulary and concept knowledge through extensive reading. The best way to strengthen reading skills and foster good reading habits is to see that students get reading practice with books that are carefully selected, and matching to their reading level. To build comprehension skills, students should read widely, responding to questions and talking about what they have read. Helping struggling readers requires a supportive literacy environment at a student’s school. A large classroom setting means the teacher’s attention for each student is limited. Motivation is essential for maintaining students’ attention in reading. Families and communities have an important role in helping students become successful readers. Assessment and evaluation are necessary to monitor students’ progress and intervene. |

There are no repeated questions on the reevaluation exams to prevent students from memorizing the previous questions.
