Comprehension | Grades 3 and Up
Strengthening How Students Think and Understand
Corrective Reading® Comprehension provides intensive language-based reading intervention with more than five decades of proven results.
Corrective Reading Comprehension builds the reasoning, vocabulary, and knowledge older students need to make sense of text. With fully prescribed lessons, integrated assessments, and a proven Direct Instruction model, the program helps students become confident learners across subjects.
The instruction model for Corrective Reading Comprehension is highly structured and includes four levels of intervention for Grades 3 and up. Multiple points of entry address varied comprehension deficits and skill levels found among older students, ensuring strategic, differentiated intervention for all learners.
Designed for non-readers or students who read haltingly and cannot understand what they have read, Comprehension A creates a framework for learning new information and filling in background knowledge. Teachers can engage students in higher-order thinking skills based on this new foundation of knowledge.
