Comprehension and knowledge-building instruction are essential to developing confident, lifelong readers. Strong comprehension instruction strengthens fluency while expanding students’ vocabulary, background knowledge, and critical-thinking skills. When students engage with high-quality, meaningful texts, comprehension becomes deeper and more motivating, helping readers not only understand what they read, but also learn from it and apply their thinking across texts and content areas.
