Teacher Data Survey - Identifying Reading Challenges

Teachers: Thank you for taking the time to participate in this brief survey. The purpose of this survey is to find out if teachers are noticing signs that an older student (6th - 12th grade) may have a reading disability and what steps, if any, they take to address those challenges with the student, school administration, and parents. In answering, please consider only those students who do not to your knowledge have a formal diagnosis of Dyslexia or another reading-related learning disorder except ADD. Please limit your answers to students in 6th through 12 grades.

Please respond by April 14, 2025.

Thank You

Clear selection

1. When students read out loud and come to a word they have difficulty with, I have observed:

(check all that apply)

They skip the word

They replace it with a word that they do know

They use a word they think should be there (such as saying "subtraction" when the actual word is "subterranean")

They stop and try to figure out the word based on how it is spelled (such as saying it phonetically)

They stop and try to figure out the word based on how it is used in the sentence.

2. When a student who is reading out loud makes a mistake while reading, do you:

Ignore it

Correct the student directly ("that word is actually_______")

Give the student an opportunity to correct the word themselves ("are you sure that's right?")

Mention it to the student later
