Enhancing Reading Independence: The RAAP Tool for Effective Accommodations Analysis

The RAAP is a tool designed to analyze the effectiveness of reading accommodations and explore student preferences. It provides valuable baseline information that encourages testing new hypotheses for improving reading strategies. While not a diagnostic assessment, it guides the development of effective reading practices. For example, students with minimal experience in text-to-speech but who use adult readers tend to perform better with them. The tool fosters discussions about reading independence and allows parents to understand their children's reading strengths and weaknesses.

  1. The RAAP • The RAAP is a tool to help you analyze the effectiveness of reading accommodations and consider student options. • We find that the RAAP is giving us good baseline information and leads us to test out additional hypotheses. • It is not a diagnostic assessment, but it helps you develop reading strategies to explore further.

  2. For example… • Students who have little to no experience with TTS but use Adult readers, will do better with the Adult readers. Because we are looking for reading independence, this leads us to do a trial period with TTS and retest TTS after 4 weeks of experience. • We're considering converting the passages to mp3 and maybe test this with kids who show a clear pattern of not doing well with multimodal TTS and have a clear preference for listening. • We're finding that the RAAP helps parents '"see" what their kids do best with", a reality check. It also leads to conversations on reading independence
