When testing for listening comprehension using informal reading inventory passages, do you read the student the passage once or twice? It almost seems unfair to do it just once.

I read it once. I also believe that the oral comprehensions subtest on the WIAT permits the assessor to read the passage once. Yes, memory is a factor in listening comprehension. Attention deficit can make listening comprehension APPEAR to be poor, if the child loses attention midway. However, this usually would be less likely to occur in 1:1 testing in a quiet setting than in a classroom.
