Does your student have difficulty making sense of what they read?
Reading comprehension becomes meaningful only when we can process and retain what we are taking in. That’s what reading comprehension is all about. But reading difficulties are common, and neurodevelopmental in nature. This means that they won’t go away — and as such, struggling readers must adapt via reading comprehension tutoring strategies that will work for them.
RITES is here to help your student succeed, with individual reading comprehension tutoring options as well as reading comprehension programs to meet their specific needs. Here are some key components of reading that RITES can emphasize for your student:
- Identifying Detail
- Sequencing Events
- Using Context
- Getting Facts
- Drawing Conclusions/Predicting Outcomes
- Distinguishing Between Fact and Opinion
- Understanding Cause and Effect
- Identifying Figurative Language
- Identifying Bias and Prejudice
- Using Prior Knowledge
- Comparing and Contrasting Ideas
- Generating and Answering Questions
- Identifying Inferences
- Summarizing Concepts
