Study on read-aloud accommodations could inform common core policy

Students with disabilities and English-language learners who received read-aloud accommodations on the National Assessment of Educational Progress posted higher scores than similar peers who did not receive such accommodations, according to a report published by the National Center for Education Statistics, which administers NAEP. Some say the findings from the study could be useful as groups develop accommodation plans for assessments linked to Common Core State Standards.
