Reading Comprehension Support

Reading becomes more complex and challenging as students progress through school. Beginning around 3rd grade, students are expected to read to learn, as opposed to learning how to read. As expectations for reading and listening comprehension intensify, some students are left feeling lost and overwhelmed because they haven’t been taught strategies to help them process information effectively. They may be stronger in visual or spatial reasoning and need individualized support to succeed with language-based instruction. Sometimes students need practice with strategies like annotating text and periodically summarizing, and other times they need more intensive reading support to help them with the more fundamental aspects of reading comprehension, both of which we can do!
