Ready to have comprehension tools at your fingertips for the entire year? This YEAR LONG Curriculum is a 10 unit system of Reading Comprehension Skills that you can refer back to AGAIN and AGAIN!

Do you have good ideas for teaching comprehension but can’t always think of a good question in the moment?

Or maybe...

You have some activities for comprehension but piecing together different things is both time consuming and leaves you with holes.

As first grade teachers, we know that if you don’t have a solid system of comprehension tools at your fingertips, then..

You will lose valuable moments with your students to not only teach, but to solidify essential comprehension skills.

Before I created this reading comprehension curriculum, I was wearing myself out constantly searching for activities.

Some activities were great... others were ok.

I just never felt like I had a good system because there were so many "holes".

And too many activities didn't offer a chance for students to be interactive.

And I felt like I wasn't serving my students in the way that they deserved.

I not only wanted a solid library of resources to pull from, I wanted to make sure that the activities we were using were MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

This reading comprehension curriculum has given me the confidence and structure that I needed to boost my students' comprehension skills.

I can't wait for it to do the same for you!
