Comprehension starts at the word level. 🚀

When students struggle with a text, it’s often the vocabulary.

Knowing a word isn’t being able to recognize it on a quiz.
It’s being able to explain it, connect it, use it, and understand it in new contexts.

Strong vocabulary = stronger comprehension.

If we want better readers, we have to build richer word knowledge.

🎧 We’re talking all about how to do that in our latest episode❣️

Comment "MEGA" and we'll send you the episode PLUS a special printable vocabulary resource just for our listeners! 🩵
