The Hidden Cause of Many Students’ Comprehension Struggles

About half of students in Grades 3-12 read silently in ways that make comprehension more difficult. They read slowly, lose the thread, and tire quickly. No wonder they don’t want to read. The good news: with targeted instruction and practice, students can significantly improve their silent reading efficiency.
