Comprehension
Understanding and remembering what was read
Why Reading Comprehension Matters
Reading comprehension is essential for academic success. It’s not enough to just read the words; students must understand, remember, and engage with what they read. Many schools focus on decoding, but they often don’t teach the skills needed for effective comprehension. Without these skills, students struggle on tests and miss out on learning.
Our ReadingFish program improves comprehension through visual imagery by helping students turn words into mental pictures. This fun, engaging approach makes reading more enjoyable and helps students retain key information.
The program integrates:
- Visual imagery to form mental pictures while reading.
- Cognitive skills training to boost memory, attention, and focus.
- Comprehension strategies that actively engage students with the text.
Multi-Sensory & Cognitive Skills Training
We use multi-sensory techniques to improve visualization and comprehension. The program includes:
- Auditory memory and visualization skills training.
- Left/right brain integration for better processing.
- Exercises that improve attention, sequencing, and spatial relationships.
Reading Comprehension Strategies for Success
Students learn proven strategies to identify important information in a text, make inferences, and draw conclusions. These strategies help them actively engage with the material and improve retention to make comprehension easier.
