Second language learners and reading

I have learned over the years that a second language learner has more difficulties comprehending what he or she reads than one thinks. Many times foreign students read well but this does not mean that they comprehend.  It is very important to check comprehension constantly by asking specific comprehension questions.

I do agree with that statment, I find that the students in my class tha speak english as a second language tends to shy away from answering questions.  It is my goal to ensure that they understand everthing  and rephrase for comprehension.
