• 
• Comprehension is the goal of reading, but it can be the most difficult skill to master, especially for English language learners (ELLs). ELLs often have problems mastering science, math, or social studies concepts, for example, because they cannot comprehend the textbooks for these subjects.
• ELLs at all levels of English proficiency and literacy development will benefit from improved comprehension skills, which allow them to
• Read more accurately.
• Follow a text or story more closely.
• Identify important events and concepts in a text.
• Master new concepts in their content-area classes.
• Complete assignments and assessments.
• Feel motivated to read in school and for pleasure.
