What is The Comprehension 10 Pack?

Give your learner an advantage

We ask parents and educators to make the decision to give your learners an extra advantage in areas that involve comprehension on standardized tests. 

To comprehend simply means to understand. Many students, learners, and returning citizens do not score as well as they can on important tests due to poor comprehension skills. If you cannot understand what a question is asking you, it will be hard to answer it. One of the obstacles to students learning these skills is students lacking interest in the content used to teach the skills. The Comprehension 10 Pack is an online course that uses content and current events that learners like to discuss orally to build reading and writing skills.

 Too many classrooms in America are overcrowded and underfunded. This makes it hard for instructors to help each learner reach their full potential. Many of these schools have lower scores on standardized tests…. Imagine if each student improved as little as 10% in areas involving comprehension? The Comprehension 10 Pack is an online course designed to build key comprehension skills.  This course has 10 sections. There is no time limit. Your learner may work at the speed that they are comfortable with for learning valuable comprehension skills.  Your learner can complete the coursework in 10 weeks or one year. Think of this course the same way a learner would learn musical or athletic skills- by practice, practice, practice. The more energy the learner puts into the exercises the stronger their comprehension skills will become. A few percentage points in comprehension related areas on tests can make the difference between acceptance to schools and programs of higher learning. The lessons have simple instructions on assignments that involve current topics. List Topics

The Comprehension 10 Pack syllabus is designed to have the students learn fundamental to higher order thinking comprehension skills. It is suggested that learners complete the course in sequence. Urban Media Literacy will supply your learner with accounts to two online learning platforms . All the sections can be completed online via Schoology and Vocabulary.Com LMS platforms.  

Building the necessary comprehension skills will help your learner not only on standardized testing, but also in the classroom.

Lowering Recidivism

A win-win for everyone

Urban Media Literacy (UML) would like to help lower recidivism rates by offering our critical thinking course, Comprehension 10 Pack to inmates at prisons and juvenile justice facilities managed by

the State. Inmates and the State can benefit from the improved critical thinking skills the course develops.

Self Empowerment

 There is clear evidence that prison education has a significant impact on future lives of prisoners. Education reduces recidivism, improves employment rates, and increases wages. Inmate students report increased self-confidence and raised self-esteem. They are calmer and their presence leads to a safer prison environment. Prisoners often develop a greater maturity and are able to set goals and plan for a brighter future.
