Before we created it, we culled the research for you to find what works for helping students in grade 3, 4, 5 or 6 learn to comprehend what they read. Then we took several of those proven instructional approaches—question answering, graphic organizers, and story structure—and wove them together into a single fabric, with focus and detail. We built it so that students could learn about the things that make stories so wonderful, such as characters, plots, events, themes, and main ideas. We built it so it works for you, with your students at school, or at home with your own child.

The result? Learning Story Structure is a focused set of lesson plans that put research-based instructional approaches to work improving your students' reading comprehension.
