Welcome to ReadingCore
Reading to learn on the secondary level is complex and quite challenging. It involves more than the simple mechanical act of pronouncing words on a page. It demands a reader to pursue actively and strategically the comprehension of a given passage and then transferring that knowledge to completing an assigned task.
Teaching a reluctant student the desire to read in order to learn requires knowledge of strategies that work for almost every person. In order for reading to be accomplished, the page must offer the reader something to bite into. The ReadingCore will help you plant the seeds that will make reading a delicious and satisfying activity.
