Read It, Decode It! Middle School Reading Comprehension Adventures

Did you know that many middle schoolers struggle to understand what they read? They guess at answers, skip key details, and lack the tools to really comprehend text. Parents are often left wondering how to help at home—and students lose confidence in class discussions and on tests. We are here to help!

👧🏽 Who This Is For:

Students in grades 5–8 who want to improve their reading comprehension

Learners who feel frustrated, bored, or unsure during reading assignments

Parents looking for a fun, structured way to help their child excel in reading

💡 Why work with us? 

Students will boost their reading comprehension confidence through engaging stories, nonfiction passages, and brain-boosting strategies. By the end of each class, they’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what they read—and how to talk and write about it.

🔍 What We’ll Do (Class Experience):

Each week, we’ll become reading detectives by:

Predicting what our passage will be about

Reading aloud and together—learning to pause, question, and analyze as we go

Using strategies like context clues, main idea mapping, and character tracking

Discussing what we’ve uncovered in a safe, supportive group

Applying our skills through a quick comprehension game or quiz

Each class introduces a new passage, theme, or genre—from fiction to nonfiction, mysteries to memoirs.

📘 Students Will Receive:

A Reading Strategy Cheat Sheet they can reuse in school and at home

PDF copies of each weekly text

Comprehension graphic organizers to build skills visually

Optional homework with teacher feedback (for extra practice!)
