Our mission: Empowering elementary educators

Welcome to Comprehension in Progress, a space dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of vocabulary instruction in elementary education. Discover the inspiration behind this resource, our core beliefs, and how we hope to connect and grow with you.

Our journey began with a simple idea

The inspiration for Comprehension in Progress came from a desire to connect and share ideas with fellow elementary educators. My background in teaching has shown me the profound impact that dedicated, thoughtful instruction can have on young minds. This website is a culmination of those experiences, a place where we can explore effective strategies and support each other in our shared mission to educate.

The power of vocabulary in comprehension

A core belief that drives this mission is the critical importance of focusing on teaching students vocabulary per content unit. This intentional approach can lead to more effective outcomes in both performance and engagement. Building robust background knowledge through vocabulary acquisition makes an enormous difference when it comes to reading and comprehension, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Join our community of educators

After engaging with our content and understanding our mission, we hope that educators will feel inspired to provide feedback and share their own innovative ideas. Our goal is to build a collaborative community where we can all learn from each other and support our early learners more effectively. Together, we can make a significant impact on student comprehension and success.
