This website is recommended by tutor Carol Cyr, who says, "I've been giving my students readings from the 'Critical Thinking Reading Comprehension Worksheets,' starting at Grade 2. He read a passage the other day and had no problems answering the comprehension questions! That was definitely a *first* for him...It's wonderful to know that he *does* comprehend, when the reading is at an easy enough level for him."
