ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ Ζαφειριάδης
Abstract

Students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder experience problems in reading comprehension, which affect their academic performance and may continue into adulthood, highlighting the need to be effectively supported. Several effective strategies are suggested in which interventions (activating prior knowledge, paraphrasing, using graphic organizers and story maps, asking and answering questions, summarizing), are taught in which students with ADHD have the ability to creatively organize their understanding of written texts, but also to set goals, self-teach, self-monitor and self-reinforce.
