It is very difficult to define comprehension. Reduced to its simplest elements we might say that comprehension is a part of the communication process of getting the thoughts that were in the author’s mind into the reader’s mind.

Mental development is measured by a child’s ability to read, and it’s a concern for most parents. Many of us simply expect a child to eventually develop literacy skills, without setting specific goals to this end. However, what happens when the development of these desirable abilities does not proceed at the optimal rate, if left simply to chance? What happens if a child starts school with a reading deficiency, instead of a desired proficiency?
Thus you shouldn’t be surprised by the interest generated by a system like “Your Baby Can Read.”
Developed by language professor Dr. Robert Titzer, the program takes…
