Comprehension is the goal of all reading. Wings to Soar helps students who can decode but can’t “understand.” We teach active reading strategies, visualization, and summarization techniques that help students connect the dots, transforming them from passive readers into critical thinkers.
If your child has challenges with eye-reading, we strongly encourage the use of ear-reading, or listening to the text, as a way to build reading comprehension skills.
Dyslexics who also have an underlying language-based learning disability may need the help of a speech and language therapist who is experienced in building the receptive and expressive language skills needed for reading comprehension. If your student has difficulty with comprehension, whether they are listening or reading themselves, it is a good indication that this angle of intervention should be explored through a comprehensive speech and language evaluation.
Wings to Soar Online Academy offers a few programs which directly address reading comprehension problems and others include practice with reading comprehension questions that follow up on reading passages.
Here are a few reading comprehension strategies you can use at home. Some students with reading comprehension problems need programs that explicitly teach comprehension skills while others just need practice on using their comprehension skills (often paired with fluency practice).
At Wings to Soar Online Academy, we work with you to create a customized package that includes the programs that are just right for your unique situation. If you have curriculum that is already working for a particular learning area, we respect that and don’t want you to feel you need to enroll in more than you need with us. We want to come alongside you to help you fill in the gaps of what isn’t working. Please explore the menu of possible online programs that we offer at Wings to Soar that we could include in your child’s Path to Success™ Personalized Learning Plan on our Learning Solutions page.
