Comprehension | Fluency | Reading | Predicting | Language Comprehension

Understanding the meaning of any written text is the ultimate goal of any reading program.

This book was designed to support just that. In the Science of Reading, Text Comprehension is what developing Phonics and Vocabulary skills is all about. After learning how to decode words and expand vocabulary, the next step for students is overall comprehension which means understanding individual words, as well as how they are used in sentences, paragraphs, and texts as a whole.

The focus of this book is specific, targeted practice with making a prediction. Using information from written text (including; headlines, titles, pictures, and diagrams) and their own personal experience, students will learn to anticipate what they are about to read or what comes next. Students will get lots of practice with answering questions from the text that will give them the information they need to make a prediction.
