Abstract
Concern regarding the quality of reading instruction continues to be a topic addressed by researchers, educators, administrators, and policymakers. Historically, there have been many avenues reported to teach reading comprehension skills. This study reviews researched-based strategies for secondary students with reading deficits in the general education setting; specifically, students who receive special education services and participate in general education courses. To make progress in reading skills and have access to general education content, students benefit from explicit reading comprehension that includes vocabulary, pre-reading, active reading, and post-reading strategies. This information equips educators and educational staff with research-based strategies, tools, and instructional methods to support special education students in general education courses.
