Reading Comprehension Exercises: Reading Karate

Get ready for reading comprehension exercises with Reading Karate! Your students will chop their way to becoming a Black Belt reader.

Do you want your students to beg you to let them read? Are your students motivated to read more? Do your students want to read many different genres and types of texts? If they don't, then reading comprehension exercises with Reading Karate will change all of that!

Motivation to read is a key issue for struggling readers: these kids need a reason to read, one that THEY feel is worthy. Sometimes the simplest of rewards can be the barrier-breaker for those hard to reach students.

Reading Karate takes students from being a white belt reader that only reads picture books and responds to a favorite part, to becoming a Master of Reading where they achieve a black belt through reading 10 books, retelling the story and presenting it to the class.

Martial arts and reading? Oh yeah. Kids love it. You just provide the books (it's super easy!) and let Reading Karate do the rest.

With Reading Karate, you get the motivational tools your students need.

Struggling Readers Need to Read More

That's not news to anyone, but we often forget that simple rule of life: to get better at something you have to practice it. And let's face it, we only put effort into practicing something we like to do.

No child wants to practice something they don't enjoy - I don't either. But sometimes just that little extra something is all kid needs to make him excited to grow as a reader.

Reading motivation research identifies 4 key factors in getting our students to read more:

1. Allowing choices in reading material
2. Providing modeling of text and allowing oral discussion
3. Providing balanced books: a blend of informational and fiction
4. Rewards for engaging in literacy behaviors

Reading Karate hits all of these, as well as the two most defining indicators of reading success:

• a child's competency belief (how good of a reader a child thinks he or she is)
• goal orientation (does a child want to become a good reader and why)

The impact of motivation is terribly ignored by many teachers. Do you think a phonics program makes your at-risk kids want to become proficient? That's like saying, "Practice putting your foot on the pedal of the bike and be able to name all the parts. Once you are good at that, you can get on a little bike with training wheels."

Ridiculousness! (Love that word).

Put your students on the big boy bike, give them balanced books at their independent levels and reward their efforts. This is guaranteed to get the kids excited about reading!

I have never seen my students so eager to read as they are during Reading Karate. They absolutely cannot wait to get to the next belt level and show the entire school how they are mastering their reading skills.

Even better: the parents love it too!
