What parents say about our awesome apps:
*** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you.
*** 5 stars! Every one of your apps that I've tried is great!

When using "Comprehension Builder", your learner will first read a passage. The learner must then hold the information in memory in order to answer a multiple choice question.

To build sustained attention and working memory, early levels contain 2-sentence texts with limited word count. As comprehension is demonstrated and memory increases, the texts increase in length and difficulty.

"Comprehension Builder" contains 200+ fiction and non-fiction texts on a variety of topics.

This app is perfect for learners who:

- when reading or listening, information seems to 'go in one ear and out the other.'

- have trouble responding to questions about a text unless they can refer back to the text.

- can understand each sentence, but don't seem to put them together to make meaning from the text as a whole.

Additional Features:

- Incremental learning. New levels are unlocked only when your child demonstrates mastery.

- Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation.

- Contains over 600 questions, with content designed by professional teachers and researchers.
