Many students can read the words, but struggle to explain what they mean. That space between decoding and true comprehension is what we call the Meaning Gap — and it's the foundation of all our work.
At Reading Through Times™, we close the Meaning Gap using two structured, research-informed frameworks that help students think while they read, write, and learn.
Explore our programs below to see how your child can grow in clarity, strategy, and confidence.
Before beginning any program, every student completes the Meaning Gap Diagnostic — a structured assessment that reveals whether your child struggles with:
Understanding the author's main point
Making connections and tracking ideas
Identifying what's repeated or emphasized
Explaining meaning with clarity
Writing responses with evidence and analysis
You'll receive a written summary with recommended placement into one of our 12-week tracks.
Applied toward your program if you enroll within 14 days.
After the diagnostic, students are placed in one of two signature programs based on grade level and skills needs.
Each track includes:
🔷Weekly lessons
🔷Structured RBTL™ and R.E.A.D.™ instruction
🔷Progress updates
🔷End-of-semester evaluation
