Make the Right Choice for Reading this Summer

Tackling one of the toughest reading problems

Starting at grade 4, the reading landscape changes – “learning to read” becomes “reading to learn,” and understanding content-area text is now paramount for progress. Students who still struggle with reading – and even some who read literary text adequately – will find content-area text difficult to comprehend. Most intervention programs are based on teaching students common comprehension reading strategies, such as visualizing, making predictions, and questioning the text. Content-rich text requires a different set of skills and strategies to both understand expository text features and build relevant background knowledge.
