After children are strong readers at the word level (see our beginning reading materials), they are ready to go deeper in to the complexities of language while they continue building their reading lexicon. Depending on the child, this may happen anywhere from ages 4 to 9 (human development is highly variable; it's more important to follow the child than their birth date). 

We've put together a collection of core materials designed specifically to support reading comprehension in emerging readers. Here are some of the key benefits these activities offer:

• Practice reading non-phonetic words:
• Introduce capitalization
• Introduce and encourage exploration of the function of words (grammar)
• Introduce specific word studies (like homonyms, antonyms, and synonyms)
• Practice building words and phrases that follow the mechanics they are exploring

Here's what you'll find in our Reading Comprehension Collection:

• 3-Part Classification Cards (We recommend the following but choose any six that match your child's interests)
