The curriculum
Modules 1 โ 9Main Idea
Find the central point in a paragraph
Learn to separate the main idea from supporting ideas, examples, and small details.
Paragraph Purpose
Recognize what a paragraph is doing
Identify whether a paragraph introduces, gives background, provides evidence, counters, or concludes.
Text Structure
See how paragraphs work together
Trace how ideas connect across paragraphs and how a text is built from thesis to conclusion.
Inference
Read between the lines with evidence
Draw conclusions the author implies but does not state, using textual evidence rather than outside knowledge.
Tone & Attitude
Hear the writer's stance
Detect whether a writer is skeptical, admiring, cautious, or critical โ and locate the language that reveals it.
Evaluating Arguments
Weigh claims against evidence
Distinguish claims, evidence, and assumptions โ and judge whether the support the writer offers is strong enough.
Cohesion & Reference
Follow the thread across sentences
Track what pronouns and phrases like "this", "such", or "the latter" refer to, and read connectives (however, thus, meanwhile) as signals of how ideas relate.
Synthesis
Integrate different perspectives in one text
Read a single passage that presents multiple viewpoints on an issue and identify where those perspectives agree, where they disagree, and what a reader can conclude by holding them in mind.
Strategic Reading Decisions
Decide how much of a text to read
Learn to stop reading at the right moment. Different questions demand different amounts of text โ sometimes the title is enough, sometimes you need the whole article.
One skill at a time
Each exercise trains a single cognitive move โ finding the main idea, naming a paragraph's function, mapping structure.
Explanations, not verdicts
Every option comes with a short rationale in the voice of a reading instructor. No bare 'correct' or 'incorrect'.
Endlessly new passages
The coach writes fresh journalism-style prose โ with a hand-drawn illustration โ for every session.
