Rising Readers

Our Rising Readers program aims to develop students’ reading comprehension skills. We do this by showing students how to engage or interact with texts and how to analyze or interpret texts from multiple perspectives. Once a student has proven their comprehension of a particular text, we then challenge them to think critically beyond what they’ve read; lessons of this nature range from identifying main ideas to using literary devices to infer.
