MindCrafting for READING Comprehension

Help your child master the journey to deeply engage with any text.

Is your child struggling with reading comprehension, despite countless tutoring?

You are definitely not alone. Many parents feel the same frustration, and the truth is, it’s not just your child.

A staggering 34% of 3rd graders in the U.S. score below basic reading levels. By 4th and 8th grade, it’s even more concerning—over 64% of students are not reading at a proficient level. It’s clear this is a national crisis. (National Assessment of Educational Progress – NAEP, 2022). 

What often gets overlooked is that the issues go beyond just reading fluency. It’s about how the brain understands information and makes the connections needed for comprehension.

Think of it like a puzzle. It’s not just about having all the pieces; it’s about being able to fit them together quickly and correctly to see the whole picture. That’s what the brain does with information—it doesn’t just collect the pieces; it needs to make sense of how they all fit together.

That’s exactly where we come in… We go beyond traditional reading comprehension tutoring. We’re here to help your child not just improve their reading skills, but to transform their entire reading experience from frustration to confidence.

Now, let’s explore how we can efficiently close that gap and help your child not just catch up, but excel in reading comprehension…

Our Unique Approach

Comprehension relies on several brain-based abilities that go beyond just picking out important details from the text? 
Research shows that over 80% of children who struggle with reading comprehension have attention or cognitive processing difficulties that make it harder for them to keep up with their peers. But here’s the good news: We can tackle this from the root. Our MindCrafting program is designed to strengthen the “comprehension brain muscle” through targeted cognitive training that builds lasting skills, so your child isn’t just memorizing content, they’re mastering the art of understanding it.
Here are the key cognitive skills involved in MindCrafting reading comprehension tutoring:
Attention
The ability to stay focused on what’s being read and block out distractions. Good attention keeps your child engaged, especially with longer or more challenging texts.
Working Memory
This skill helps your child hold on to and work with information as they read. It’s what allows them to understand and remember key details from the text.
Auditory Processing
This involves the ability to hear, distinguish, and analyze sounds, which helps in decoding words – a foundational element for reading.
Processing Speed
Quick, efficient thinking lets your child read smoothly and understand the material without getting stuck on slow word decoding.
Visual Processing
This includes the ability to form a clear mental picture of the story, thereby “getting the picture”.
Sequencing
Understanding the order of events or ideas in a story or argument is essential for following along. It also helps your child summarize and retell stories with confidence.
Inference and Reasoning
These advanced skills allow your child to read between the lines, make predictions, and draw conclusions beyond the surface of the text.
