Renee,
I agree, if you are talking about your average students. But my experience
comes out closer to Kim's. What I have observed, is some kids (especialy those
who learn differently) don't understand that they can do things to help
themselves, like reading the questions first so they know the purpose of the
reading. (Am I looking for specific details about the character, or do I need
to infer about the effect of the character's actions? Do I need to figure out
the author's purpose, or do I need to figure out the genre?)
Much of this can be done without test prep workbooks, etc.
