Reading comprehension is a big deal in elementary school for a reason. 

Readers are leaders. But readers with an understanding of how to enrich that experience are in a different league. The depth and breadth of your vocabulary literally (no pun intended) changes how you perceive written and spoken language. 

Enrich your experience with the world and the interactions you have with others by expanding your dimensions of comprehension.

Don’t just read, read mindfully.
