I have a 4th grade student who has gotten pretty good STAR test scores this year, but can't hardly pass a test on a book he has read independently. Today he took the STAR test and scored 7.4; last quarter is was 6.1. Yet when he took a test on a 3.5 book today, he answered 5/10 questions correctly. He does have ADD. I wonder if he just can't pay attention to the story long enough to really follow it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help this child slow down and actually understand the story he is reading?
