1st – 3rd Grade Reading Comprehension
In the early grades (1st–3rd), the comprehension problem is caused by the child developing a hesitant reading style, making mistakes on words, sounding out words, substituting one word for another, not stopping at periods, pausing at commas, or reading fast.
All these will cause comprehension problems and it becomes difficult for the child to understand what they have read.
This is frustrating for a child and their parents, but it isn’t a problem without a solution. We can work with your child to overcome their reading comprehension problems.
4th-12th Grade Reading Comprehension Problems
Watch Daniel, a first-grader, learning advanced vocabulary
Starting in the upper grades (4th–12th) the comprehension problem can be caused by hesitant reading style, but it may also stem from your child not knowing the meanings of the words they read.
If your child doesn’t know the meaning of a word, they will never use it in writing and won’t ever speak it; it will be as though they never learned the new word in the first place.
The Solution to The Reading Comprehension Problem.
Schools are not introducing a sufficient amount of vocabulary words for your child to succeed. The teacher will put up 10–20 new vocabulary words on the blackboard each week and ask the children to look up the definitions; a child goes to the dictionary and may not be able to read the word and or the words meaning. Addiitionally, The child is confronted with 5 synonyms they don’t know the meaning of in 5 different contexts, while only getting 1 repetition. No one learns anything with only 1 exposure. So the word is learned only to be forgotten.
If your child is being introduced to only 20 new vocabulary words per week, that means between 4th grade and 12th grade they will learn less than 3,000 words, which is equivalent to a 6th grade level of vocabulary development. Your child needs to be introduced to 20,000 vocabulary words in order for them to be the best they can be in the world. Using The Dicker Reading Method’s exclusive word recognition techniques, your child will learn 5 new words in one minute and accomplish 3–6 years of reading vocabulary improvement in just one year. Watch as your child’s grades, test scores, and confidence soar as they develop a love for reading and school.

The final facet of the comprehension problem lies in your child finding meaning in the words that they read. On tests and in real life, people need to be able to find and retain information from the written word. Our students are asked a question on every sentence they read in their tutoring sessions. If they don’t know an answer, we have them go back into the story to locate and prove the correct answer. Through this technique, your child will learn to cite sources and draw useful information from text. This helps to develop the child’s literal and inferential comprehension skills and to defeat poor reading comprehension.
