Features
- Sometimes children struggle with reading comprehension because they don’t know how to read.

- If your student needs to learn to read, I suggest looking at the Explode the Code series. It also covers some basic reading comprehension.
- For younger children, there is the Early Reading Comprehension series.
- Each book includes pre-tests, post-tests, and an answer key.
