According to the article on the NAEP exam it states that teachers do not often make sure their students fully understand the text that they are reading, why do you think this is?
I like the question you proposed. I feel that teachers that are in the "testing grades" (3rd, 4th and 5th) feel pressure. Not only do we have to teach cirriculum, but also whats on the state exam. Its a time crunch of 180 days to get all 24 students on track to success and a few fall in between the cracks, Were just one person and 24 of them. it's rough to make sure all 24 students comprehend whats infront of them. This is when we need students to speak up if they need help (motivation) and also envolve the parents as much as possible.
I feel that often teachers are too busy focusing on having all of their students at the right reading level but comprehension gets left at the wayside in lieu of fluency. When teachers see that students are easily able to read a text they might not automatically question that students comprehension.
