Students were provided the read-aloud accommodation via a video presentation.

Participants were 1,343 students in grades 4, 5, 7, and 8 from eight U.S. states. Twenty percent (n=272) of the participants had identified learning disabilities in reading.

Items were selected from a statewide multiple-choice math test (secured items; state with test of origin was not specified); items considered more difficult to read were specifically analyzed (test not named in article).

Elementary students with disabilities tended to perform better under the read-aloud condition; elementary general education students did not appear to receive a similar benefit from the accommodation. For middle school students, no disability status x test condition (standard vs. read aloud) was identified.
