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.
The Gap in Reading Data and Instruction
Many readers struggle despite excellent instruction. Often, the cause is inefficient reading or underdeveloped visual skills, which are rarely measured or addressed.
70%
of below-proficient students read inefficiently
50%
of low-performing elementary readers (25% in middle school) showed underdeveloped visual skills
While reading is a cognitive task, it is a physical one too. When the eyes capture text inefficiently, reading is uncomfortable, slow and labored, stamina collapses, and comprehension suffers, even on a text that a student can decode and understand.
