Your students can decode.

But do they really understand what they’re reading?

You’ve seen it before, students read every word perfectly… then look at you blankly when you ask, “What did that sentence mean?”

These Sentence Pyramids with Pictures & Comprehension Questions are designed to fix that.

Every sentence includes:
→ A picture that matches the sentence
→ 2 comprehension questions
→ Built-in self-checking answers
