Comprehension Codes

Review collected from another provider

You ask, we answer!

What grade levels is this best for? Can it be used above or below grade level?

Comprehension Codes was designed for Kindergarten through Grade 2. However, it is highly flexible—if a learner is working below grade level, you can simply use the card pack that matches their current skill level. This makes it ideal for differentiation, intervention, and mixed-ability groups.

How long does a typical game take to play?

A typical game takes about 15 minutes, making it perfect for centers, small groups, or quick at-home practice.

Can this be used as a center without teacher support?

Yes! We recommend introducing the game with teacher or adult support the first time. Once learners understand how to play, it can be used independently as a no-prep learning center or for independent practice at home.

How easy is it to differentiate for mixed-ability groups?

Very easy! Simply choose the card pack that matches each learner’s skill level. Students can play the same game while working on different comprehension skills, making differentiation seamless and discreet.

Is this appropriate for struggling readers or emerging readers?

Absolutely. Comprehension Codes works well for struggling and emerging readers. If a student is not yet able to read the passage independently, a teammate or adult can read it aloud, allowing the learner to demonstrate listening comprehension by answering the question.

What is the return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy for eligible items.
