Module 12 - Final Four Interactive Comprehension Readers. These final four readers are the most complex in the series.
Creators Note: I built this app to help kids from disadvantaged backgrounds learn to read. I used it in my classrooms. I deployed it in other schools. Two of my children have used it to learn to read (one before kindergarten even started and the other throughout the first year at school when she was only five). It works but it also requires dedication from the teacher or parent. You must ensure the child has access to the system every day (or 5 days a week) until its completion. I recommend picking the same time each day and keeping it short. Once they pass an area (apw: Practice 1, Practice 2, Quiz 1, Quiz 2 as an example) let them be done. Lots of times they want to do more but the human brain can only retain so much at a time.
Final Note - Reading in English is hard. Many of the rules are complex or inconsistent. Be patient and understanding. This program will work but you must ensure consistent access for your child or children in your care. If you need help, please reach out. I am always happy to help if I can.
