Active Reading

Master meaning without guessing

Equip dyslexic students with systematic, visual strategies to monitor understanding, tackle complex texts, and repair comprehension gaps independently.

Structured Interventions

Three core strategies

These five-minute classroom interventions shift students from passive decoding to active self-monitoring during standard reading blocks.

Click and Clunk

Visual KWL Charts

Active Annotation

Train readers to self-monitor. 'Clicks' represent smooth understanding, while 'clunks' signal sticky words requiring immediate systematic repair tactics.

Map comprehension visually. Students track what they Know, Want to learn, and Learned, turning abstract text into a structured thinking grid.

Keep focus physical. Students use custom margin codes and high-visibility highlighters to anchor attention directly to the sentence level.

Classroom Application

Tactics in action

By marking texts directly, dyslexic students externalize their working memory. Simple pencil symbols and targeted highlights anchor focus, preventing the cognitive fatigue that leads to comprehension breakdown.

Using margin codes changed how my reading group operates. Students stopped guessing and started self-correcting.
