Are you ready to scale your student’s comprehension? Yes, that’s right!

Reading Comprehension: Feelings Identified
I know exactly how you feel. I was that teacher, too.
- Frustrated that my students were not comprehending the text, even though we spent so much time reading it.
- Disappointed that students did not find the same joy in reading that I found, and if they did, they would be comprehending better.
- Assigning high and low grades to the same students every week. Those students who were avid readers, scored great, those who were not, scored low.
This was so disappointing, I felt like a teacher failure. I knew I needed to do something to reach these kids, and I spent countless nights thinking about what I could do differently.
Reading Comprehension: Results
Well, those sleepless nights allowed me to do more research, find answers, and then put my research into action. What I found made a huge difference! Not just with one student, but with every single student! Not just one year, but every year since!
