GRADES 3 - 8

Based on a research-validated instructional model, Reading for Meaning targets reading comprehension. Students read authentic literature selections — both fiction and non-fiction, complete graphic organizers, and answer comprehension questions. Through explicit modeling and guided practice, students develop skills in five key areas: main idea, inference, sequence, cause & effect, and compare & contrast.
