%X The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness reading for comprehension when the questions were directly taught to a student with autism. The participant was a 12-year-old male student with autism enrolled in a self-contained classroom for students with developmentally disabilities. The results indicate that the comprehension program gradually improved the student¡¯s comprehension. He was also able to read more stories when the intervention was employed. The combining of precision teaching with an academic intervention was also discussed.
