Reading Programs That Build Critical Comprehension Skills
Simple Solutions’ Reading Comprehension provides systematic practice with comprehension strategies, text analysis, and critical thinking skills that build independent readers. Each resource includes certified Lexile® Framework for Reading measures, supporting Tier 1 literacy instruction across fiction, nonfiction, and informational texts.
- Develops Strategic Readers – Builds comprehension strategies students apply across all subjects
- 10-15 Minutes Daily – Integrates as independent reading time, literacy centers, or homework
- Fiction + Nonfiction Texts – Prepares students for diverse text types in assessments and content-area reading
Your district has invested in phonics programs and core reading curriculum, but students still struggle with complex texts independently. They can decode the words but miss the meaning. Teachers across content areas report the same issue: students don’t know how to extract meaning from text.
Simple Solutions Reading Comprehension teaches students the strategies they need to understand what they read. Our program provides systematic practice with questioning, inferencing, summarizing, analyzing text structure, and identifying main ideas — skills students need across all content areas.
We detail our teacher-developed approach below. You can also explore our complete list of resources or connect with our team to get started today.
K-8 | 63+ Lessons | 9+ Assessments
Standards-aligned practice that strengthens critical thinking across fiction, nonfiction, and informational texts. Students build the skills they need to understand what they read and think deeply about content.
Our Research-Backed Approach to Reading Comprehension
Three cognitive science strategies power our reading programs and ensure students retain comprehension skills:
Retrieval Practice
Rather than simply rereading passages, students actively recall information — a process that makes understanding stick and builds stronger connections to the material.
Spaced Practice (Spiraling)
Reading strategies reappear throughout the year at strategic intervals, preventing the “use it once, forget it forever” problem common with traditional instruction.
Interleaving (Mixed Practice)
Each session mixes fiction with informational texts and combines various comprehension skills, mirroring how students actually encounter reading in school and life.
