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.
Our Unique Approach
Are you familiar with the skills responsible for your child’s ability to comprehend? The most essential skills in-charge of comprehension are rooted in several brain-based abilities that go beyond just reading and finding the most important elements.
Here are the key cognitive skills involved in MindCrafting reading comprehension tutoring:
- Attention: The ability to focus on the text and avoid distractions is critical. Sustained attention helps the child stay engaged while reading, especially with longer or more complex texts.
- Working Memory: This skill allows a child to hold and manipulate information from the text as they read, which is essential for understanding and recalling key details.
- Auditory Processing: This involves the ability to hear, distinguish, and analyze sounds, which helps in decoding words and understanding phonics, a foundational element for reading.
- Processing Speed: Fast and efficient processing of written information enables a child to read fluently and comprehend the material without getting bogged down by slow decoding.
- Visual Processing: This includes the ability to interpret and make sense of visual stimuli, such as letters and words. Good visual processing helps with letter recognition, spelling, and reading fluency.
- Sequencing: The ability to understand the order of events or ideas in a text is vital for following the plot or the argument in a piece of writing. This is also key for summarizing and retelling stories.
- Inference and Reasoning: These higher-order skills enable a child to go beyond literal comprehension and understand implied meanings, make predictions, and draw conclusions based on the text.
