Take your time

The seven tricks you'll learn

You master steps 1–4 first and always practise them together. Steps 5–7 come once your child owns the first four.

1

Start from the end

Go straight to the questions instead of wading through the text first.

2

Identify keywords

The hardest skill to master, and the one you will practice the most.

3

Order of information

See how the order of the text lines up with the order of the questions.

4

Selective scanning

Scan and highlight only what the question actually asks for.

5

Read for answers

Read to answer, not to absorb every sentence on the page.

6

The logic of grades

Understand how typical school grading algorithms really work.

7

Smart test-taking

Work out the minimum number of correct answers for the grade you want.
 Part 2 of 2 · Your child learns

Then you hand it to your child

Training sets for your child to learn the method on paper and then reinforce the skill in interactive exercises complete with gamified brain breaks. You demonstrate the method, practice it with them, and finally watch them do it independently.

How you pass it on

The four-layer trick you use in Module 5, on every child exercise set. Same rhythm every time, until they don't need you watching.

1

Demonstrate

Show your child the trick, start to finish, while they watch.

2

Practice for them

Do it again out loud, narrating each move
as you go.

3

Practice with them

They lead, you stay beside them like a safety net.

4

Watch them do it

Independent practice first
on paper, then on screen.

Who benefits

Built for parents and guardians of students in grades 4-12 who struggle with reading comprehension due to:
  • Dyslexia
    ADD / ADHD
    Autism spectrum
    Specific learning disabilities
    Focus and attention needs
    Auditory and visual processing
    English language learners
    and more

Unique Learning Paths

You take the training — no special education background needed. The material is written to be digestible for anyone who wants their child to do better in school.

Students who need support

Your child gets their own gamified exercise files — short texts, clear steps, no timers. Practice feels like a game instead of homework.

English learners

Receptive language usually runs ahead of expressive language. The method leans on exactly that, so a second language never blocks the learning underneath.

From the parents who used it

★★★★★
“Standard reading assignments used
to bring my son to shutdowns and endless frustration. CompreHelp® breaks the process down into clear steps.
Now, he has the tools to get through text worksheets on his own.”

— Bridgett, parent of a 15 y.o. son (ASD)

★★★★★
“My son was convinced he just wasn't 'school smart' because his ADHD made reading feel like punishment. CompreHelp® changed that. His anxiety plummeted. Now, he actually owns his assignments.”

— Jennifer, parent of a 12 y.o. son (SLD)

★★★★★
“She could get the words off the page,
but by the time she hit the end of
a paragraph, the actual meaning was gone. Seeing her map out an article and complete the questions on her own was a massive win for both of us.”

— Michael, parent of a 14 y.o. daughter (SLD)

Questions parents ask

Do I need a teaching background?

No. The material was written to be digestible for parents and guardians who are not in the special education field. Gary walks you through everything at a calm pace.

Does my child take the course too?

You take the training. Your child works through the nine child-level gamified exercise files with you, using the four-layer teaching method from Module 1.

How long does it take?

It is self-paced. About an hour a day gets most parents proficient in around a week. Nothing expires and nothing is timed.

What if I fail a module check?

You cannot fail it permanently — attempts are unlimited and untimed. Reaching 80% simply unlocks the next module.

Which texts does the method work on?

Informational text of any difficulty — history, science, social studies and similar. It is not designed for analysing themes, characters, motives or inferences.

What ages is it for?

The method has been used with students aged 8 to 18, including children with specific learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, autism, processing deficits and English language learners.
