Read to Achieve offers 2 unique modules designed to equip adolescent readers with the comprehension skills and strategies they need to succeed in science, social studies, and English/Literature classes.

Comprehending Content Area Text
In Read to Achieve: Comprehending Content Area Text, ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ work daily with content examples that reflect the structure and layout of popular science and social studies texts. The level of direct teacher guidance provided to the ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ begins strong and is gradually phased out as ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ demonstrate the ability to independently select and apply appropriate comprehension strategies for the content they are reading. In the final units of this module ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ stop using the example text provided in the Content Reader and begin working with their actual science and social studies textbooks!

Comprehending Narrative Text
In Read to Achieve: Comprehending Narrative Text, ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ work daily to develop comprehension strategies appropriate for fictional and non-fictional texts. Examples using selections of authentic non-fiction trade books are provided in the Anthology. In later units instruction is based around examples taken from Gary Paulsen's award-winning novel Hatchet, as ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ read and work with the entire text. In the final units of this module the teacher selects a text of their own choosing that will be used for daily examples and classroom work.
