Comprehension is a life skill critical for personal, academic and professional growth.

Comprehension means understanding what you read. Some people can read words faster than they can construct meaning. Understanding flows from the words that are read and the mental images created or awakened by the words. Weak mental images are tied to poor understanding, low vocabulary, weak sequencing, missing main idea, little inferencing and poor critical thinking skills.

You can clearly hear when someone reads aloud poorly. Unfortunately, you hear nothing and you see nothing when an individual has problems generating mental images to create meaning as they read..

Mental images construct meaning and organize thoughts. Think of the meaning of surprise or anger or joy. Yes, you can define those concepts in words, but you also SEE expressions and body language that are core to your understanding.

There is a critical path to teaching mental imaging, and thus, good comprehension. Critical path means that there is a specific order of activities that produce the best results most quickly.

As each activity is completed and the learning verified by specific behavior, the next most important activity is immediately introduced. This makes MindPrime's IdeaChain Program effective quickly.

MindPrime's IdeaChain Program targets basic understanding and gives students, in clear bite-size pieces, the skill needed to understand and remember more of what they read.
