Cindy Moore has always been a good student. She is never late and rarely misses school. She exhibits all the signs of enjoying her classes and wanting to succeed. In her 11th grade English class she is reading a novel by Richard Wright that she says she enjoys, however it is evident from her in-class daily responses to the previous night’s assignment that she is not keeping up. Which of the following responses will determine whether the problem is a cognitive one?
  1. Discussing with Cindy how her social life is changing
  2. Discussing with Cindy what she is understanding in the novel
  3. Discussing with Cindy how she can read faster
  4. Discussing with Cindy how much time she is putting into her homework
Explanation
Answer: B - Discussing with Cindy what she is understanding in the novel. If the teacher uses this approach, it will validate that Cindy is a strong student who can understand the material. It can help the teacher understand the reading strengths she has to determine what style of learner she is. This can be used to determine her mode of visual learning, whether the words create images or if the words create thoughts.
