How Our Reading Comprehension Program Works

Brain Training to Improve Reading Comprehension

Successful readers need two important types of skills.

To start, they need basic reading skills, so that they can understand the words they read. After that, they need strong reading comprehension skills, so that they can grasp the underlying message, think critically about what they read, and remember key information.

ComprehendRx® focuses on this second set of skills. This program improves reading comprehension for kids and teens, as well as adults. To do this, we focus on skills like:

  • Reading speed and accuracy
  • Picturing images and visualizing concepts
  • Expanding vocabulary when reading and writing
  • Remembering key information while reading
  • Processing complex sentences and language

To strengthen these abilities, training sessions focus on core cognitive skills. For example, brain training exercises that focus on working memory can improve short-term memory when reading. This way, readers can remember details from earlier in the text to help them understand later sections.

One of the main focuses of ComprehendRx® is a skill called visual processing. This is the cognitive skill that allows readers to picture mental images, which research shows is critical for reading comprehension. This skill plays a critical role in comparing ideas, making analogies, retaining information, and understanding abstract concepts.

Every ComprehendRx® student receives a custom training plan, allowing us to tailor our program to their existing skills. This way, you or your child can improve reading comprehension in areas where there is the most room for growth.

Personalized Help with Reading Comprehension

As with all LearningRx programs, ComprehendRx® uses brain training to help learners make rapid gains. Brain training involves one-on-one sessions with a dedicated brain trainer, using one-on-one games and activities to target specific cognitive skills.

Our reading comprehension program is designed around key brain training principles, including:

  • Teaching new reading comprehension skills in the right order.
  • Increasing the intensity of training as students increase their skills.
  • Strengthening mental connections with activities that use two or more skills.
  • One-on-one training sessions with immediate feedback.
  • Creating a customized plan for every ComprehendRx® student.

Before starting ComprehendRx® learners take a Brain Skills Assessment. This helps us to measure existing strengths, identify where training can offer the most help, and design a custom plan for every learner. ComprehendRx® plans typically include two months of training. This timeline may be adjusted to reflect a student’s individual goals and needs.. 

By customizing our training plans, we help students improve reading comprehension in the right areas, focusing on skills with the most room for improvement.
