Make and confirm predictions
Before reading, scan the title, subheadings, and images. Make a prediction. Read to confirm or revise. SparkRead's annotator turns this into a one-tap habit.

Reading comprehension strategies for every reader.
Strong readers don't just see words — they ask questions, picture the scene, predict, infer, and connect. SparkRead teaches and practices each strategy with adaptive passages, AI-guided annotations, and warm coaching.
Find the main idea (and the evidence under it)
The main idea is supported by repeated details. Train students to circle the 'thesis sentence' and highlight three supporting pieces of evidence on every passage.
Infer beyond the words on the page
Inference is reading between the lines. Practice with passages tagged 'inference' in the SparkRead library and use the Annotator AI for grade-band-appropriate coaching.
Summarize without copying
Strong summaries restate the central idea in your own words. The AI Companion (Mr. Ramsey) prompts students with scaffolding questions until they own the summary.
