Engage students in learning reading
comprehension strategies and critical thinking
skills. Reading strategies and thought-provoking
exercises guide students through the process
of developing the skills they need to become
better readers. In addition, age-relevant stories,
video introductions, and voice options are sure
to motivate even the most reluctant readers.

Reading Comprehension & Critical Thinking
Short videos introduce students to the stories.
Students then have the ability to use all of the tools
and features in the program (story text,
comprehension questions, critical thinking, exercises,
reading strategies, hints, dictionary, and notepad in 7-9)
at anytime before, during, and after reading.
Students focus on answering questions about direct
and implied information from the stories.
Understanding of vocabulary and ability to make
inferences is necessary to answer questions. Hints that
guide students through the relevant text are available.
The goal of the critical thinking component is to
encourage students to think through choices and
consequences. The students will translate their
thoughts into writing in order to document and explain their critical thinking.
Key Concepts include:
• Pre-reading, during reading, and after reading strategies
• Skimming
• Identifying important information
• Making inferences
• Vocabulary development
• Translating thoughts into writing
