How do you teach math and reading comprehension to a child with CAPD?We Answered:
Visually and kinesthetically since verbally the information is not processed. Cue cards, math manipulatives, acting out what is going on in a story are a few ways to teach a child with CAPD.Since CAPD and autism seem to effect children the same way (as far as being taught), look at how children with autism are taught and see if you can adapt those techniques to your student.

How can I improve reading comprehension?We Answered:
hmmmm...It's hard to say what is going on here. Are you paying attention to class when the teacher is lecturing? Are you reading you're textbook at your "prime time?" Are you concentrating on reading? Do you have a lot of background noises or do you turn on music other than classical when you read? Do you read where it is bright?If you answered no to any one of the above, then you need to fix that. Your "prime time" is when you feel that you work most efficiently in the day. For example, my "prime time" is in the afternoon around 4. I do all my homework then, and finish it really quickly, whereas I would have a hard time doing it in the morning.
If you answered no to ALL of the questions above, then here are two secrets to all reading comprehension, spelling, vocab, and homework in general. Drumroll please. The secrets are...flash cards and your own copy of the textbook. You can get most textbooks cheap on an online auction site, and flash cards can be found in any old stationary store.
HOW TO USE THESE SECRETS
if you use flash cards, which is by far the very best way to study, get a stack of these cards and write down key vocab words and points that you think are important on the flash cards, spelling them right. These key points can often be found on textbooks and online book summaries. After you wrote all these down, you have committed much more to your memory already by WRITING. Then, take these flashcards, and go say it in front of a mirror. This commits more by SPEAKING. Then, take these cards and TEACH it to your parents, friends, or family. this completes the final step of embedding something in your memory. This write, speak, teach method is confirmed by psychologists. A few days before the exam/quiz, take these cards around you wherever you go. Read em in passing period. Read em in a line. Read em EVERYWHERE
If you use the textbook, just highlight the key points and REREAD.

What are the challenges to teaching reading comprehension?We Answered:
Reading comprehension entails so much that you need to make sure that all components are understood and being used by the child in order for real comprehension to take place.Decoding skills/phonics instruction
fluency
prior knowledge
clarfying information: going back in the text when it is misunderstood
predicting
vocabulary/understand what is meant
predicting
infering
summarizing
A comprehensive reading program must include all of these components in order for students to comprehend what is being read.

What is the best way to teach English reading comprehension to high school students?We Answered:
There probably isn't any one best way because people are different in their ability to learn. One way would be to have the teacher read aloud a short passage while the students follow in their books. Then the teacher should ask for questions or opinions, and find out where the problems are in the students' understanding. Explaining the meaning of words that students don't know, and discussing what the author meant are very important. Vocabulary lessons and tests are also a good idea because a poor vocabulary limits understanding.Darryl Said:
Homeschooling parents: How do you teach reading comprehension / retention?We Answered:
I would use a technique called Narration. Have her read a paragraph to herself or aloud to you. She then needs to tell you what it was about. Don't ask her specific questions. Over time, she will get better and better at this.A great book to read about comprehension is called 7 Keys to Comprehension
